SHEARERS’ UNIONS.
(Received Juno 23, 10.27 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 23. Tho Arbitration Court has by a majority dismissed an application from the Australian Workers’ Union for cancellation of registration of tho Machine Shearers’ Union. The grounds of the application was that tho Workers’ Union represented tho 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 tho Workers’ Union contained objectionable rules, entitling the Machine Union to enrol as a separate body. The special objections were to tho rules providing for assistance from tho funds of the union being spent in the support of re-elected labour candidates and a newspaper. Tho President of the Court and the employers’ representative opposed the employees’ representative, who favoured cancellation of the registration of the Machine Shearers’ Union. The President of the Court, in giving In's ruling, declared that some wles of tho Workers’ Union were illegal.
