SHEARERS' UNION.
Press Association. Electric Telegraph. Copyright. Sydney, June 23. The Arbitration Court has by a majority dismissed an application from the Australian Workers' Union for cancellation of registration of the Machine Shearers' Union. The grounds of the application was that the Workers' Union represented the same interests and provided for admission and membership of such persons as joined the Machine Shearers' Union. Against this it was urged that the constitution of the Workers' Union contained objectionable rules, entitling the Machine Union to enrol as a body. The special objections were to the rules providing for assistance from the funds of the union being spent in the support of re-elected labor candidates and a newspaper.' The President of the Court and the employers' representative opposed the employees' representative, who favored cancellation of the registration of the Machine Shearers' Union. The President of the Court, in giving his ruling, declared that some rules of the Workers' Union were illegal.
