ARBITRATION IN SYDNEY
THE POWERS OF THE COURT. SYDNEY, February 20. Application lias been made to th@ Full Court for a writ of prohibition, directed against tho Arbitration Court* to restrain it proceeding in the dispute concerning rates of wages between the Hotel, Club, Restaurant and Caterers* Employees’ Union and the Catreers’ and Restaurantkeepers’ Association. The Arbitration Act specially exempts domestic servants from its operation, and these employers. contended that their servants come within the exemption, and that, therefore, the Court had no jurisdiction. Argument ensued as to whether th© Supreme Court could interfere with a Court specially constituted by statute. In fact, it was contended that the Aj> bitration Court might be held to co* ordinate with the Supreme Court. Tho Chief Justice ruled that the Supreme Court had power to keep th® Arbitration Court within its jurisdiction if it interfered with a matter which it had no right to deal with. Argument is now proceeding on the application for the writ of prohibition.
