EMPLOYERS UP IN ARMS
A JUDGE'S REMARKS RKSENTED. Bv Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Melbourne. May 16. Employers are up in arms in connection with Mr. Justice Higgins' remarks reo-ardinf economic conditions and employers' powers when giving an award in the engineers' case in the Arbitration Court. Special objection is taken to the judge's simile of the highwayman and the traveller as indicating the attitude of the employer to the workman. It is contended that no exercise of despotic power can be shown against the employers, while the political.trades unions not only possess but often use despotic powers.
It has been decided to organise a united public protest of employers against Mr. Justice Iligfrfns' remarks.
