Says Publication Of Report Embarrassing
SYDNEY, This Day.
When the State Industrial Commission met yesterday to give further consideration to the appeal of D. Parker, the ironworker whose dismissal caused the strike, the president (Mr Justice Taylor) referred to publication of a report that suggestions were made privately by the commission yesterday to end the steelworks strike. Mr Justice Taylor said: “Publication by the Press of conference discussions has seriously embarrassed the commission in this matter and has rendered very remote prospects of conciliation between the parties. “It is obvious that if such matters are disclosed to the Press the functions of the commission in conciliation will be gravely hampered in future. “The statement which has been published is misleading. It is not a fait or accurate account of what transpired, and we deplore its publication.” The case, in which Parker is appealing against the determination of- Mr Justice Cantor upholding the right of the firm to dismiss him. is proceeding.
