WHAT IS AN "INDUSTRY"?
INDUSTRIAL AWARDS INVALID. By Telcirapb—Press Assoointlnn-OopyHeht Sydney, June 28. Mr. Mitchell, general secretary of tho Engine-drivers' and Firemen's Association, referring to the High Court judgment that the members of the 'association were not engaged in an "industry" as defined by the Commonwealth Arbitration Act, asks tho Federal Government to amend the Act, in order to overcome the difficulty created, and to define clearly the meaning of "industry."
TII6 judgment renders invalid a large number of industrial agreements. If they are interfered with trouble will ensue. Although tho men were opposed to strikes, that would bo the only method . left if they were deprived of the right of arbitration. '
It was possible, added .Mr. Mitchell, for the Governor-General to proclaim such an association as his an organisation' undeT the Act, and if that were done trouble would be averted. Referring to the different Courts, Mr. Mitchell stated that it cost .£IOO less to obtain an award from the Federal Court, covering the whole of Australia, than one from a State Court for the State only.
