INDUSTRIAL AWARDS
COMMISSIONER DEFILS COUR I
By Telegraph—Press Assa-Copyright. Sydney, Nev. 20.
The industrial Commissioner , Mr. Piddington, has decided to defy the Commonwealth Arbitration Court order restraining the State Conciliation Committee from proceeding to make an award in regard to engineering apprentices.
Mr. Piddington said the awards of the Commonwealth arbiters were in effect permanent unless varied by the Commonwealth arbiters, whose sway could, not be escaped by an appeal to any Court or Parliament in the Empire. In this respect, Mr. Piddington continued, the Australian constitution now resembled nothing that existed or ever existed in the British Empire. It had a close resemblance to the present constitution of Italy, where democracy had beeu abolished. The law-making power in Australia, so far as labour laws or any special laws bearing on industrial matters were concerned, was now one of four persons, the three Judges of the Arbitration Cour and the chairman of the special tribunal.
