WORKERS' TRADE MARKS.
AN UNTLRjiSTINO OECISION. ,„ u T Sydney, August 5. inc High Court by a majority decision (Justices Isaacs and Higgins dissenting) declared clause 7 of the Commonwealth Trades Mark Act, relating to workers' trade marks or what is known as the Unionist Label, invalid. ,Thc Court ruled that a Union label was not a trado mark within the meaning of the law. The Chief Justice, in delivering judgment, declared: "The clause conr statutes an attempt to regulate the internal trade of the States. It does not fall with and is not incidental to any express powers conferred on the Federal Parliament to regulate that trade, and, except so far as these powers extend, the power of the State is exclusive." The Court made an order restraining the Registrar from continuing to keep a register of workers' trade marks.
