Australian Labor
Seeks 44-Hour Week
BY w. FRANCIS AHERN.

SYDNEY.-(FP)-Skilled workers
in Australian industries are deter
mined to force the 44-hour, 5-day
week This they are doing by alb
senting themselves from work on Sat
urdays-working the A hours in s
days.
When the New South Wales Labor
government passed the 44-hour law
many skilled workers worked under
awards Of the federal arbitration
court. which provides for a 4S-hour
week. The men commended that an
act Of parliament took precedence
over an award Of any court and re-
fused to work As hours. The high
court decided that awards Of the fed
Grafton arbitration court took prece-
dence over legislation.
The court ordered the men 30 OBJ
serve a 4S-hour week. Two OF the
high court judges held that the arbi-
tration court only ruled that workers
should not be employed for more than
4S hours per week, and made no rul-
ing IN the case of men working less.
They also held that state legislatures
had power to govern working hours.
The other judges of the high court
overruled these views.
Relying on the majority decision of
the high court employers announced
that all men who refused to work As
hours would be dismissed. The men
continued to absent themselves from
work on Saturdays, and were served
with notices which virtually locked
them out.
