RATIONING WORK.
SYDNEY WATERSIDE SYSTEM. ARBITRATION COURT ORDER. (Keceived May 7, i 1.45 p.in.) MELBOURNE. May 7. Mr. Justice Beeby in the Commonwealth Arbitration Court refused to insert in the Sydney waterside workers' award a new clausa providing for a roster system controlled by the union. The Judge ordered the employers other than the coastal shippers to distribute the work among competent men as evenly as possible, giving priority to members of the federation. The Judge will empower the Sydney branch to make rules to prevent any member of the federation from accepting employment which yields him an amount exceeding the basic wage, ■ less 10 per cent., The idea is to ration the available work.
