INDUSTRIAL ARBITRATION.
PROPOSALS FOR THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH. MELBOURNE, July 4. Tho Federal Arbitration Bill, which was introduced on Tuesday, constitutes a Court comprising two representatives of labour and two of employers, presided over by a High Court Judge. It provides a penalty of £SOO for causing a strike while proceedings are before tho Court. Any organisation causing a strike or lock-out without certification by tho Registrar of tho Court that tho rules of tho striking or locking-out organisation have been obeyed and its consent obtained by a majority l resolution is liable to a penalty of £SOO. Employers may not dismiss an employee because ho is a member of a union under a penalty of £2O. Awards may proscribe a minimum wage, subject to a provision specifying a lower rate in oases where an employee is unable to earn it. Breach of award by an organisation is met by a penalty of £SOO, and personal default by a fine of £2O or three months’ imprisonment. Tho Bill provides that private Boards of Conciliation and Arbitration may be constituted, which within certain limits shall have tho same powers ate the Court.-
