ANTI-TIPPING LAW
REGULATION INEFFECTIVE MR JUSTICE FRAZER’S COMMENT Humorous reference to the now defunct anti-tipping clause in tho Cooks and Stewards’ Award was made ill tho Arbitration Court at Auckland (reports the “Herald”). When Mr E. Kennedy, general secretary of the Cooks and Stewards’ Federation, drew the Court’s attention to an award made several years ago, Mr Justice Frazer asked whether that was not the famous time when the tips “went west.” Mr Kennedy said that in 1915 Mr Justice Stringer had made tipping illegal and had substituted an increase in wages. Since that time the “anti-tip-ping” clause had been deleted from the award.
“The anti-tipping clause was no more effective than the anti-shouting law,” said Mr T. 0. Bishop, general secretary of the Employers’ Federation. “I am afraid I have been guilty of breaking it myself,” said his Honour. _ Mr Bishop: “They both have the rise and the tips now.”
