PENALTY FOR STRIKERS.

REGISTRATION REFUSED (Anst. and N.Z. Gable Association.', z SYDNEY, Last Night. The Arbitration Court refused to register a number of railway and tramway unions, which were deregistered as a result of the late strike. At the same time the court granted registration to a number of new unions, formed to take the place of the old. The registrations -were granted upon certain terms, the unions being required to have rules providing against strikes and against utilisation or co-operation with jrolitical bodies ;or bodies outside the railway and tramway services. Also against any political activity as a union and against chnges being made in the rules without the approval of the Industrial Registrar. The judge announced that he took the present opportunity of notifying the industrial world that the Court had decided that something must be done to recognise the great importance to the State of an industrial union as compared with a trades union.
