TRADES UNION BADGES.

\ ; ♦ CASE DECIDED IN MELBOURNE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Rec. October 21, 0.20 a.m.) Melbourne, October 20. Tho Federal High Court has delivered judgment in a Tramway Badge case. The point involved arose out of a claim by tho Australian Tramway Employees' Association in tho Arbitration Court proceedings against various tramways companies in the Commonwealth for tho insertion of a clauso in- tho log definitely giving permission to wear tho association badge. The Court decided that" tho wearing of tho badgo was ii phase of an industrial dispute, Sir Edmund Barton alono dissenting from this judgment. Says tho "Manchester Guardian" London correspondent:—Perhaps it was tho smallness of the Duko of York's which made the distinguished tho moro conspicuous, but tho iirst night there certainly seemed the most brilliant of this notable week. There were, to begin with, so many unusual figures. Mr. Shaw rarely appears except- on liis own first nights, and Mr. 11. G. Wells is a still rarer sight. Tbon Mr. Granville Barker, Mr. John Galsworthy, Mr. Maurice Hewlett, and Mr, Anthony Hopo were discerned. Miss Ellon Terry came in with Miss Paulino Chase, and received tho usual affectionate cheer. Miss Mario Lohr was also applauded. There is always a slight majority if women in a London theatre, but in this caso tho majority was overwhelming, especially in tho pit, because it. was rumoured that Sir James Barrio was going to deal strongly with " tho woman's question " ; but, indeed, a Barrio audience is always largely one of women. Tho audionqe, however, whatever it may be, wcro not Barriodators. They hisßed vigorously at the end of "The Adored One," To hear a Barrio play hissed in London is tho most novel sensation most of us have known. It js almost enough to make' the play at any rate a success of scandal. " The doctor said to Mr.=. Perkins, whose, liushand was lyiii£ ill: " Has he bad any lucid intervals? " Mrs. Perkins replied at onto: '"E 'ad nothin' except what you ordered, doctor." Tho president of tho choral society at La Boiivv-rie, Belgium, who died recently, loft a sum of money to a local publican to provide a barrel of beer at his funcr.it to enable those at tho gravesido to drink his health.
