Action of Employers In Forbidding tho Button, Was Merely a Part of the .Policy of tho Bosses to 8uppress Unionism, Says the Jurist. A victory for unlouiam all over the world was gained when Judge Illg N gius of tho Australian high court and prcslciont of the coniinonwcalth court . of conciliation and nrhltratlon decid ed that workers had a right to wear tho union button. Writing from Mel bourne to the Chicago Tribune, George A. Doraey saya: The Brisbane strike hinged about the right of atroet car employees to wear a union badge. The strlko was a blun der, because the badge question was already up before the federal arbitra tion court and would havo been set tled within a few days by Industrial machinery. .Judge Ulgglns' decision In the case of tho Australian tramway employees "versus tho tramway trust Is the latest and perhaps the most important con tribution to tho, complex subject of In dustrial legislation. Judge Ulgglns said: "The employees are proud of the badge as an emblem of fidelity to their comrades and their common interest. and when they chat upon any oppor tunity they like to know whether they may talk freely on matters relating to their union to or In tho presence of particular men. The badge is, in fact, a danger signal where both men are not wearing it, and a 'line clear' when both or either wears it. It is a ticket of admission to meetings and serves to introduce members on a visit from an- i other state. The objection to wearing tho badge is put best and most strongly in Mr. Goodman's statement. So says, 'The evidence shows clearly that tho wear ing of tho badgo subjects persons who do not wear it to insults and opprobri um from unionists nnd from members of tho public who sympathize with the unionists,' I say without hesitation that the evidonce points to tho oppo site conclusion. "I And that the forbidding of the X, badge is, in the case of Melbourne and ' i ofJBrtsbaue, merely part of the policy v T ornhe companiea to suppress union ism. It Is the old device first keep ' away unionism as long as you can and then, when it must come, create a dependent union and attract the men to it by favors. "This creating and fostering of a ' rival union, this encouragement of Its y- members nnd discouragement of the ! members of the other union, is tho, root of such bitterness as there Is, and the companies could easily get rid of tho bitterness by ceasing to bestow excep tional favors on the company's union. vl "My award is, therefore, distinctly I against tho nttempts to forbid the un- I ion badge. "There Is a dispute between tram- I way employees nnd their employers I in Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide. The dispute has reached an acute stage in Brlsbnno and may become acute at any moment iu Melbourne and Ade ' laldc. By a resolution of the federal council on Feb. 11 the executive of the Australian Tramway Employees' association waB empowered to take , steps to secure a union badge of mem bership. The badges were made and distributed, but in the meantime in Brisbane and Melbourne certain step's were tnken by the employers against tho wearing of them. "In Brisbane on Jan. 18 the men be gan io wear them. The manager, Mr. Badger, ghvo the men distinctly to un derstand that they were to chooso be tween their billets and their badges. It Is idle to affect that this was not a dismissal for wearing the badge. The men were willing to go on working , I i and were deprived of their work and j pay. What more Is necessary to con stitute a dismissal? It Is absurd to call such a dismissal a 'strike,' what ever name may be given to the con N duct of other unions. "It is unfortunately incident to our V constitution that lu place of giving all i the energy I have to a consideration of what Is right and expedient to be dono in an industrial struggles I have I , in every case to puzzle out us best 1 I ' can what is constitutional. In this j , case I overrule all the technical ob- 4 ' jections and Unci the facts, so far aa j they affect the objections. In favor of the association. ' "la It reasonable that the employer yi , should order his qmployeo not to wear' tho badge? Mr. Badger has a quulut ' theory that he has a common law right to tell his employees what they should 1 wear. I know of no such common law right. A servant has to otey lawful commands, not nil commands, lie docs not commit a breach of duty in attend- Y lng a: particular church or in wearing ' a certain maker's garment'). The com- l ', man law right Vf'un employee id to , i I weiii wnat ne ctfodfllfc: W Hct ' "m? .chooses, in matters not affecting his work. Ho may wear what ho likes ho' long as he docs not offend against tkt coney, "Of course the employer may, by due notice, get rid of an employee who docs not dress to hlj liking, but an employee is not guilty of any breach of duty In refusing. There may bo a contract for obedience as to livery or uniform, but this court has power to interfere in contracts nnd to say what contracts mdy or may not bo made or enforced between parties." David Bulloch returned from Pioche recently where he had been (in the interest of his sheep and other business. He reports having experienced considerable difficulty and hardships in locat ing his sheep, 'but that on the whole his trip was a pleasant one. He found his sheep in a thriving condition. One of the pleasant features of his trip was the meeting with a number of old acquaintances whom he had not seen for more than twenty five years. ' . . i. A great many Cedar City citi zens went to Ogden the first of last week to be in attendance at the trial in the district court of Weber county of an action in volving the sale of a stallion said to be valued at $2,500. Be auso of the large number of witnesses and the distance nec essary to be traveled, the cost, including attorney's fees, will amount to almost as much as the amount involved in the action, making it an expensive action for the losing party.
