WATERSIDERS’ WAGE
FEDERAL ARBITRATION. COURT REFUSES PREFERENCE'(Australian Press Association.J MELBOURNE, March 7 Judge Beeby, of the Federal Arbitration Court, refused the. Waterside Workers’ Federation’s application for preference for its members. He fixed the rate for ordinary time at 2s 4d per hour, which is an increase of 2.1 d, for all States except Queensland, where it is a reduction of 3^-d. Judge Beeby said that time and time again, this Union had abused the preference privilege by striking. and the Court could not now grant it preference except as against those employers 'who discriminated against unionists; nor could the Court be guided by political changes, or th& Union’s contention that industrial peace was bound up in the granting of absolute preference to unionists.
