CONFLICT OYER 44-HOUR WEEK ACT. BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. SYDNEY, April 21. The conflict between the Federal Arbitration. Court, awards, arid the N.SAV. Forty-four Hours Week Act was continued when application was made on behalf of the Metal Trades Employees’ Association to the Federal Arbitration Court for a writ of prohibition to prevent the Industrial Arbitration Commission of New South W ales from dealing with applications of the State branch of the Australasian Society of Engineers for an award in which forty-four hours per week were claimed. The application was refused. Mr Justice Powers, in delivering his judgment, said the reasons for refusing the application, inter alia, were that no State Industrial Commission at present existed, and the oldi State Arbitration Court had expired. He did not think it advisable at the present time to grant the applicaiton, but gave leave to the association to- renew its application, if any State court proceeded to hear the claims of the union.
