SYDNEY GAS STRIKERS.
PATRICIPATORS PUNISHED. Press Association.—Telegraph .—Copyright SYDNEY, June 24. Justice Heydon fined one employee £lO and 99 others £B, with costs £1 Is, for participating in the recent gas strike. The Judge said the men’s cessation of work was clearly a strike against the industrial agreement. Such were not less binding than awards, but rather more so, since they embody the actual consent of both parties. The Judge also rejected the contention that the right to prosecute had been given up by the’ agreement terminating the strike.
The Government is considering whether to prosecute others concerned in tho same strike.
