JUDGE’S ANSWER.
Court Not Responsible for Wage Cut. WARRING ECONOMIC ELEMENTS. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received March 10, noon.) MELBOURNE, March 10. Replying to argument by the representative of thirty-seven unions seeking restoration of the 10 per cent wage cut, Chief Judge Detheridge said that the reduction of the standard of wages in Australia was not brought about by the Court, but bv the fall of the national wealth. The Court could not reform the whole world, which was constituted of warring economic elements, each producing what it was fitted to produce and also striving to produce what it was unfitted to produce, for the folly of man. In regard to tariffs, he said that these resulted in a grossly unscientific method of distribution of the world’s production and thus the world was at fault.
