OPEKATIVE PLASTERERS' AND FIBROUS PLASTERERS' EMPLOYEES.

BEFORE THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.

No. 56 of 1963. In the matter of the Industrial Arbitration Act,

1912-1963, and in the matter of an application to register amalgamation of the Western Aus- tralian Society of Operative Plasterers' Indus- trial Union of Workers, Perth, and The West Australian Fibrous Plasterers' Industrial Union of Workers as The Operative Plasterers and Plaster Workers' Federation of Australia, Western Australian Branch, Industrial Union of Workers. Before the Commission in Court Session.

Chief Industrial Commissioner S. F. Schnaars, Esq.; and Mr. Commissioners D. E. Cort and J. R. Flanagan.

The 7th day of July, 1964. Reserved Decision.

MR. COMMISSIONER SCHNAARS; I have had the opportunity of perusing the decision of Mr. Commissioner Cort and agree with his conclusions.

MR. COMMISSIONER CORT; This is an application for registration of The Operative Plasterers and Plaster Workers' Federation of Australia, West- ern Australian Branch, Industrial Union of Work- ers, being an amalgamation of two unions at present registered under the Industrial Arbitration Act, 1912-1963.

The certifying solicitor has forwarded the necessary certificate to enable the application for registration to proceed.

The sole objector to the registration is The Op- perative Painters and Decorators' Union which claims that certain work provided for in paragraph (a) of rule 3 of the proposed constitution is work which is performed by members of that union.

The work referred to was included in the constitution of The Operative Plasterers' Union in 1962 notwithstanding a similar objection raised by the Painters' Union (Volume 42 W.A.I.G. p. 958). For that reason and subject to the following com- ments the present objection should be dismissed.

The reason for the dismissal of the similar objection in 1962 was that the rules of the Plasterers' Union contained a proviso which protected the interest of painters and, as it has been submitted that no problems have arisen between the two unions under the present constitution, the proviso should be re-inserted.

The Registrar is, therefore, directed to register the applicant society subject to it amending paragraph (a) of Rule 3—Constitution by adding the following:—

Provided that no person who is or is eligible to be a member of The Operative Painters and Decorators' Union of Australia, West Aus- tralian Branch, Union of Workers as at the 26th July, 1940, shall be eligible to be a member of this Union.

For the assistance of the applicant society it is pointed out that proposed rules 29 (c), 31 (5) and 45 may not be enforceable and it may be considered desirable to take the opportunity to also amend these rules.

MR. COMMISSIONER FLANAGAN: I have nothing further to add to the conclusion of Mr. Commissioner Cort, with which I agree.

Decision accordingly.

AWARDS-Delivered- MERCHANT SERVICE GUILD.

(Jetty Superintendents—Fremantle Harbour Trust.) BEFORE THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.

No. 32 of 1963.

Between Merchant Service Guild of Australia, Western Australian Section, Union of Work- ers, Applicant, and the Fremantle Harbour Trust Commissioners, Respondents. Before Mr. Commissioner J. R. Flanagan.

The 2nd day of July, 1964. Reserved Decision.

THE COMMISSIONER: This is a reference of dispute in which the Merchant Service Guild of Australia, Western Australian Section, is seeking a new award for Jetty Superintendents with the Fremantle Harbour Trust Commissioners to replace Award No. 4 of 1957 as amended.

The first award, No. 4 of 1957, was issued by consent on the 18th April, 1957, and, following application No. 97 of 1958, the former margin of £5 Is. Id., which had been originally based on the margin paid to the Berthing Master's assistant and certain launch masters employed by the Fre- mantle Harbour Trust, was increased to £7 5s. on the 27th June, 1958.

On the 16th February, 1960, in amendment No. 67 of 1960, with the application of a 28 per cent, increase following the Metal Trades' Margins decision of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, the margin was increased to £9 5s. 6d. The decision granting the application of the union is reported in Volume 40, W.A.I.G., p. 156, and therein the President, Nevile, J., stated:—

"In 1958 this Court assessed these particular margins relating to these members of the Merchant Service Guild and, as Mr. Feather- stone has said, they made a full examination and consideration of the work done by these employees in the context of the then existing margins throughout industry generally; and if margins throughout industry generally are now to be increased by 28 per cent, there is no reason why the margins of these employees should not be increased by a similar amount."

In amendment No. 284 of 1963 on the 28th August, 1963, by consent, the margin was increased by 10 per cent, to £10 4s. 6d., again in consequence of the application of the Metal Trades' Margins decision of the Commonwealth Commission.

In this matter, a claim for a margin of £15 16s. 6d. (as for First Mate 10,000 tons and over, other than passenger vessels) is now made. In his opening address, Mr. Featherstone, for the Guild, at page 3 of the transcript, said:—

"The Guild claims again, as it has previously, that the margin should be that of a Chief Officer or First Mate in accordance with the qualifications initially required of the applicants, and our contention is there has never been a satisfactory basis of comparison of the qualifications, duties and responsibilties of Jetty Superintendents."

The supporting submissions and evidence were directed towards persuading this Commission to accept the proposition that the duties and responsibilities of Jetty Superintendents are com- parable with those of a Chief Officer or First Mate engaged on a 10,000-ton vessel other than a passenger vessel. In this regard, strong em- phasis was placed on the initial qualifications required of the applicants by the Fremantle Har- bour Trust at the point of engagement, namely, that they should possess a foreign going Board of Trade certificate for at least a First Mate. This was basically similar to the submissions made by the applicant in 1958, during which proceedings a thorough examination and comparison of the duties and responsibilities of Jetty Superintend- ents were made.

In a decision dealing with an application to amend the Carpenters' (Gold Mining) Award 1947 reported in Volume 41 W.A.I.G. at page 726, the Court of Arbitration in giving consideration to the respondents' submission that—

"the onus was on the applicant to show that, since the clauses to which amendments were sought were last considered by the Court, circumstances had so changed as to create some new anomalies or some new unjust and inequitable conditions not present at the time the Court considered these matters"

concluded that— "there was no onus on the applicant Union to establish that any change of circumstance had occurred since 1955 when the Court last fully considered these matters."

The decision went on to state however— "from a practical point of view, of course, if the Union relied on identical submissions and similar evidence to the submissions and evidence which had previously been placed before the Court, it would seem to be improbable that the Court would change its decision—unless the Union could also show that the operation of the Award in the six years since 1955 had demonstrated that the submissions or evidence previously rejected or only partly accepted by the Court had been proved in practice to have been more sound or of greater weight than the Court had then thought."

Furthermore, in a decision of the then Concilia- tion Commissioner and now the Chief Industrial Commissioner, when issuing the Government Dredge Masters, Mates and Engineers Award, No. 34 of 1960, reported in Volume 42 W.A.I.G. at page 156, in respect of rates of pay he stated:—

"The basis of the Union's claim for Launch Masters was not a new submission. Their proposition was advanced on similar grounds before Mr. Bogue acting as Acting Common- wealth Industrial Registrar early in 1956. It is evident from a perusal of his decision delivered on the 28th March, 1956, that the submissions before me are not in any substantial way different to those then presented. I have given full consideration to the various relationships which the Union has again suggested but cannot in any way see that there is any justification for varying the principles relating to the relationships as between the various Launch Masters which were prescribed in 1956, consequently the margins will be as set out in the answer."

15 July, 1964.] WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL GAZETTE. 317

Having carefully studied the submissions and evidence presented in the 1958 application and as acknowledged by Mr. Featherstone in the 1960 application for a 28 per cent, marginal increase that "a full examination and consideration of the work done by these employees in the context of the then existing margins throughout industry generally" had been made by the Court in 1958, I find that, in respect of the present application, no variation of duties or increase of responsibilities of Jetty Superintendents has been shown as would justify, in a re-assessment of the marginal rate, the increase as claimed.

As this award has application to one classification only, that of Jetty Superintendents and as the working requirements are constant to the extent that a continuous seven-day shift is worked, I consider that it is unnecessary in these particular circumstances to continue the shift loading prescribed. In so deciding, I have prescribed a margin of £11 10s. It must be clearly understood that the marginal rate now includes an allowance for shift work and the operative effect on other related provisions of the award will be evident to the parties.

From the foregoing, it follows that the claim for an increase in the shift loading has been refused.

However, in considering the claim for an increase in the eompensable loading for shift work from 5 per cent, to 10 per cent, it is noted that the existing loading applies irrespective of whether the worker is engaged on day shift, afternoon shift or night shift. My attention was drawn to the provisions of the Oil Refinery Launch Masters Award, No. 23 of 1957, and the Tugmasters and Engineers Award, No. 16 of 1963, wherein shift loadings of 7-|- per cent, and 10 per cent are prescribed for afternoon and night shifts respectively. As these provisions were incorporated by consent, the respondent contended that they should be dis- regarded on this account and the existing loading remain undisturbed. In the decision of the Con- ciliation Commissioner, when issuing the Govern- ment Dredge Masters, Mates and Engineers' Award, No. 34 of 1960, reported in Volume 42 W.A.I.G. page 156 and at page 157, in prescribing a 10 per cent, loading for night shift, he indicated that such loading has a fairly general application throughout awards in this State. On the basis of a constant loading of 5 per cent, for the various shifts as at present applied, the monetary result to these employees would equate with that flowing from the provisions of awards which prescribe a 5 per cent, loading for afternoon shift and 10 per cent, for night shift.

As a general principle, I agree that arbitral authorities should not be influenced to vary a provision merely on the ground that such a provision has been varied by consent unless it can be shown that the variation has a fairly wide application in an industry and which, if ignored, would unjustly disadvantage workers whose conditions were under review. The claim is accordingly refused.

The danger hazard associated with the work of Jetty Superintendents for which a 10 per cent, loading is claimed is refused. In many industries there exists a danger element that is incidental to the work of those engaged and is a factor that would be considered in an assessment of the marginal rate. From the submissions and evidence, I have concluded that the workers are not unduly exposed to risks to their personal safety as would justify the imposition of the loading claimed.

In respect of the claim for an additional day's pay for ordinary time worked on Sundays as part of the weekly roster, the applicant advanced two grounds in support:—

(1) Double time is the recognised rate for Sun- day overtime.

(2) A shift worker who is working his ordinary time on a Sunday is denied the ordinary social and private activities of that day in that he is precluded from sharing in the community's main day of rest and relaxation.

The respondent submitted that, in respect of (2), the circumstances are common to any shift worker and, as rosters are prepared at least one month in advance, the workers are not subjected to any more hardship than that applicable to any other shift worker. Shift workers fall into various categories ranging from five-day shift workers to seven-day shift workers. In this industry, work on Sundays and holidays is an essential prerequisite and, though work on such days forms part of the ordinary working hours, the Commonwealth Court in the Week End Penalty Rates Case (1947) 58 C.A.R. 610, in taking cognisance of the matters referred to by the applicant, prescribed additional rates for such work on Saturdays and Sundays. An analysis of other awards in this State of the conditions applying in general in respect of additional rates payable to seven-day shift workers who are required to work on Sundays as part of their ordinary week's work discloses that such payment is at rate and a half. The existing additional three-quarter day's pay for such work will therefore not be varied and the claim is accordingly refused.

The applicant sought to include in Clause 12— Contract of Service—a provision that would entitle a worker to the right of appeal to a Board of Refer- ence against instant dismissal or suspension by the employer for insobriety, misconduct or neglect of duty. Other than a submission that an injustice could follow the dismissal of an employee for alleged insobriety when, in fact, he could be affected by fumes or gases, there was no evidence to indicate that any dispute in this regard had occurred previously. I am, therefore, not satis- fled that the provision sought is necessary and, consequently, it will not be included.

The reasoning and conclusion dealt with earlier in this decision on the claim for an increase in the rate for time worked on Sundays, fortified by the Court of Arbitration's decision in the General Enquiry re annual leave and public holidays (43 W.A.I.G. page 392), apply to Clause 12—Annual Leave and Clause 13—Public Holidays of the claim and, accordingly, the existing provisions will remain unaltered.

In Clause 15—Sick Leave, four variations of the existing provision were claimed. The first, in subclause (b), called for the deletion of a dis- qualification of an entitlement to the payment for sick leave "where a medical certificate is not furnished as required." In the preceding subclause, an obligation is imposed on the worker to produce within forty-eight hours a medical certificate certifying his incapacity to ensure his entitlement under the award. The applicant, whilst conceding that the employer has administered the provision liberally, nevertheless contended that circumstances could arise which could preclude the worker from receiving his just entitlement. It is not sufficient to rely merely on hypothetical in- stances to justify the removal of such a provision.

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL GAZETTE.

I was assured on behalf of the respondent that no difficulty had been encountered with these particular employees in this regard and, as I believe an employer should have the right to insist on the production of a medical certificate subject to reasonable conditions and, as the existing provision is not in my view unreasonable, the claim is refused. The second variation sought by the applicant related to a change from the existing provision affecting accumulated entitlement "during the preceding twelve months" to "during the current calendar year." As the applicant subsequently sought leave to withdraw this particular amendment, the subclause will remain unaltered.

In support of the deletion of the existing subclause (c) of sick leave, it was submitted that the provision relating to the termination of the contract of service and of relieving the employer of further obligations was extremely harsh and unjust. For the respondent, it was contended that such provision afforded a measure of protection to the employer and should be retained.

I am inclined to the view that the reference, in the subclause to the preceding subclause, in respect of the failure of a worker to produce a medical certificate within forty-eight hours is too arbitrary and, accordingly, I have redrafted the clause in a manner that will exclude this provision but, at the same time, preserve to the employer the right, under the circumstances envisaged, to deem that the contract of service has been terminated and of being relieved of any further obligation to the employee.

The claim for a reduction in the period of service from one month to one week for the purpose of computing the entitlement and accumulation of sick leave is refused. This principle of computation is similarly expressed in other awards to which the respondent is a party and is in con- formity with the general standard inserted in awards in this State.

The attention of the parties is drawn to section 69 of the Act in respect of any agreed provisions in the proposed minutes of the award which have either been omitted or amended and the parties will have the opportunity to be heard on these matters at the speaking to the minutes.

PAINTERS. (Government Shipping.)


No. 32 of 1961. Between The Operative Painters and Decorators'

Union of Australia, West Australian Branch, Union of Workers, Applicant, and The State Shipping Service and the Minister for Works, Respondents.

Before Mr. Commissioner E. R. Kelly. The 30th day of June, 1964.

Reserved Decision. THE COMMISSIONER: This is a reference of industrial dispute in which an award is sought by the Operative Painters and Decorators' Union to cover such painting work in the shipping, and boat building and repairing industries as is not covered by the Ship Painters and Dockers Award.

The reference was filed with the Clerk of cue Court of Arbitration on the 21st July, 1961, and a preliminary objection to an award being made was dismissed by that Court on the 18th June, 1962 (42 W.A.I.G. 179.)

On the 9th August, 1963, the Court, on an application by the union, which was dealt with in Chambers, issued an order in the following terms:—

That the Fremantle Harbour Trust be joined as a party to Reference of Industrial Dispute No. 32 of 1961 and be named as a respondent therein but that permanent employees, unless substantially employed on ship painting, shall not be covered by any award arising out of such reference.

The matter had not been disposed of on the coming into operation of the Industrial Arbitration Act Amendment Act, 1963, and it accordingly fell to the Commission to determine as a result of the operation of section 4A of the Industrial Arbitra- tion Act, 1912-1963.

Issues were settled before the Assistant Industrial Registrar on the 28th February, 1964, and on the 1st April, 1964, the applicant requested a date of hearing. The hearing commenced on the 11th May, 1964.

At the commencement of the hearing, Mr. White, for the applicant, raised certain objections to the answers filed by the Secretary for Labour on behalf


of the State Shipping Service, the Minister for Works, and the Minister for the North-Wesr, and to the appearance entered by Mr. Boylan on behalf of those respondents and that entered by Mr. Ince for certain private respondents. After a half day adjournment, however, Mr. White withdrew his objections.

The adjournment, to which I have just referred, was ordered by me primarily to enable the parties to make substantial amendments to the issues. By section 70, subsection (2), the Commission is prohibited from listing matters for hearing unless issues have been settled, and it is not, I think, contemplated by that section that issues, once settled, shall become so unsettled as to require re- settling when a hearing before the Commission commences.

It is true that the Commission has power to allow an amendment of proceedings before it, but this power should, generally, be exercised only when some change occurs which a party could not reasonably have anticipated. There is a tendency to regard the settlement of issues as an inconvenient procedural formality which must be suffered, but to which little real attention need be given and it is apparent that, in many cases, the parties do not give proper consideration to their respective positions until after the settlement has taken place, it being too readily assumed that any deficiencies or inadequacies in claims or answers will, almost as a matter of course, be remedied by amendment at the commencement of a hearing. I take this opportunity to mention that the power to allow amendments is a discretionary one and, as far as I am concerned, its exercise in the future will be influenced by the care which parties before me appear to have taken in settling issues.

The reference of dispute related, as I have indicated, to both Government and private industry, but at the conclusion of the applicant's submissions and evidence it was apparent that no case had been made out on which I could even begin to consider the making of an award for that section of the industry carried on by private enterprise. In the normal course of events I would have acceded to the submission made by Mr. Ince that the employers he represented be struck out from the reference but, in view of the decision of the Court of Arbitration overruling the preliminary objection to an award being made and in view of the matters referred to in that decision, I decided instead to divide the reference. The respondents to the original reference in the private sector will, therefore, become parties to reference 32A of 1961 which will be stood over until Mr. White feels that he is in a position to present a case with respect to those respondents. At that point of time he can re-apply for the matter to be listed unless, of course, the parties have reached agreement on the matter.

As a result of my decision in regard to the private employers, the advocate for the Fremantle Harbour Trust submitted that that Trust should be treated in a similar manner, as no case had been made out against it in the present proceedings. It is apparent, however, both from the terms of the order made on the joinder application to which I have referred and from the notes which the President, Nevile, J., made during the hearing of that application, that the facts in regard to the Trust were clearly presented on that occasion. It was, therefore, unnecessary for Mr. White to raise them again, particularly as the terms of the order not only joined the Trust to the reference, but also specified the circumstances in which any award, made as a result of the reference, would apply to workers

employed by the Trust. I would not, therefore, exclude the Trust from this award on that ground but, as a matter of record, Mr. Boulton's concise summary of the facts regarding the employment of painters by the Fremantle Harbour Trust may be found in the transcript at pages 188 to 190.

A matter of more serious consequence in this regard, however, to which my attention was drawn by Mr. Boulton, was the fact that the minutes of an award to be known as the Building Trades (Fremantle Harbour Trust) Award had, on the 15th May, 1964, been handed down by Mr. Com- missioner Cort, and that the work of a painter under that award would include, by agreement between the Trust and the Operative Painters and Decorators' Union, the painting of vessels owned and operated by the Trust. When this matter was raised, I did not perceive any diffculty in giving effect to Order No. 146 of 1962 in this award. Since that time, however, I have had an opportunity to examine the building Trades (Fremantle Harbour Trust) Award in its final form and I find that it applies, inter alia, to all painters employed by the Fremantle Harbour Trust (clause 4) whether permanent or casual (clause 9) and that no exclusion or reservation is mentioned with respect to the award with which I am now dealing. The making of that Building Trades Award which, in all its provisions relevant to the present issue was by consent, thus renders Order No. 146 of 1962 completely ineffective and I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the Fremantle Harbour Trust cannot be included as a respondent to this award. It may be of some solace to the union to realise, as I am sure Mr. White does, that, even if the Trust had been named as a respondent to this award, there would have been only the most remote likelihood of Order No. 146 of 1962 having any practical effect during the currency of the award, in view of the relatively small amount of painting done on vessels by employees of the Trust. When the term of Award No. 26 of 1958 has ex- pired, however, the union will not be prejudiced, in relation to such work, by any oversight that may have occurred in the making of that award.

It will be convenient to deal now with the only remaining issue in regard to respondency, namely, the claim by the applicant that this award should apply to the Harbour and Light Department. That Department has a workshop situated near the Fish Market Jetty in which it employs a maximum of two shipwrights or boat builders, one apprentice, and two general hands on the construction of small craft and, occasionally, larger pilot vessels. No evidence in regard to this work was brought by either side but an inspection was made of work in progress in the workshop and the question of the painting of these vessels was discussed ex- tensively with the Assistant Manager of the Harbour and Light Department, his foreman, and leading hand. These discussions, in which Mr. White participated, satisfied me that it is not convenient for members of his union to be engaged for this painting work. The Harbour and Light Department is a respondent to the award of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Com- mission known as the shipwrights (Shore) Award and is also a respondent to the Ship Painters and Dockers Award and, according to the statements made on behalf of the Department, the painting work is carried out by the shipwrights or the general hands as the construction of the vessel proceeds. In many cases, the last hour of the day is spent on such painting so that the timbers then painted may be used at the commencement of work on the following day. It was said that if

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL GAZETTE. [15 July, 1964. 322

shipwrights were unable to do this work they would, at times, be idle for one or two hours while the work was done by other workers. It was said, furthermore, and I am satisfied that this is the case, that the difficulty of obtaining painters for short periods at the precise times at which they" were required would be productive of considerable inefficiency.

In any event, it is clear that the construction of small vessels is only a minor and incidental aspect of the work of the Harbour and Light Department and that the painting of such vessels represents only a minor part of the work of employees engaged in their construction. Even under the Building Trades Award painting work in mixed industries may, subject to certain conditions which are not relevant here, be carried out by persons who are neither tradesmen nor members of the Operative Painters and Decorators' Union.

Maintenance painting on pilot vessels has always been the work of the regular crews of those vessels and Mr. White did not seriously press any claim in relation to this work.

Having given this matter earnest consideration, I have decided to include the Harbour and Light Department as a respondent to this award but the award will not apply to painting work involved in the construction or maintenance of vessels by that Department if and while such work is performed by shipwrights employed under the terms of the Shipwrights (Shore) Award or by the regular crew of any vessel. The award cannot, of course, apply to painting work done by the general hands if that work is properly within the scope of the Ship Painters and Dockers Award.

I turn now to a consideration of the other matters in issue between the parties.

Area and Scope. Nothing was put before me which would support

the claim that the award apply to all ports within the State. The evidence related almost exclusively to work performed by the State Shipping Service at Fremantle and inspections were not sought outside that area. The award will therefore be restricted in its operation to the Port of Fremantle.

The respondents sought, with minor modifications, the continuation of provisions which have appeared in successive awards applying to tradesmen painters employed by Government Depart- ments and instrumentalities since and as a result of a determination of a Special (Demarcation) Board in 1947 (27 W.A.I.G. 130) relating to the painting of vessels. Section 74, subsection (3), of the Act requires this Commission to adopt such a determination "for the purposes of any award or order made by the Commission". I have, therefore, restricted this award to work hitherto performed by members or by persons eligible for membership of the applicant union, and have excluded certain work done by members of the Seamen's Union and by regular employees of the Harbours and Rivers Branch of the Public Works Department. If any dispute arises as to the application of this award to any work, it may be settled by reference to the determination of the Special Board. Hours of Work.

This clause has been re-drafted to give expression to the matters agreed to by the parties during the hearing. Meal Money.

The respondents claimed that they should be relieved of any obligation to pay an allowance for meals required during overtime in respect of any

worker who lived in the locality in which his workshop was situated and who could reasonably return home for such meals.

In support of this claim it was argued that a worker who can go home for his meal does not incur any additional expense in that respect because of working overtime and should not, therefore, receive any payment. This proposition is sound if the premise is correct but, as Mr. White pointed out, one cannot assume that the time at which a worker is sent home for a meal will necessarily coincide with the time when his meal is ready and, if it does not, then the worker may incur additional expense even though he has gone home. The provision is, however, a common one in awards in this State and, as no evidence was adduced in opposition to it, it will be included for the present.

The remainder of this clause was agreed to but I have redrafted it so as to express more clearly what I believe to be the intention of the parties. If I have misunderstood that intention the matter can be corrected at the speaking to the minutes.

Rates of Pay. (a) Disabilities Allowance.

The applicant union originally sought the fixation of rates on a basis similar to that applying to ship painters and dockers and consequently elected not to claim the disabilities allowance of fifteen shillings per week which is now prescribed in the Building Trades Award and the Building Trades (Government) Award. As a result of my decision to divide the reference, however, Mr. White sought leave to amend his claim by including this allowance.

A disabilities allowance of five shillings per week is at present paid to employees of the State Ship- ping Service and the answers filed by the Secre- tary for Labour sought the continuation of this payment. Mr. Boylan, therefore, raised no objection to the amendment of the applicant's claim but resisted any increase in the amount now being paid. In support of this attitude, he argued that there should be no automatic adoption in this industry of a disabilities allowance fixed for the building industry and referred to a number of decisions of the Court of Arbitration and the Con- ciliation Commissioner relating to the Gold and Iron Ore Mining Awards and the Carpenters' (Fremantle Harbour Trust) Award where either a rate lower than that prescribed under the Building Trades Award had been fixed or a rate equal to that so prescribed had been fixed but on account of disabilities which differed from those to which the Building Trades Award related. He submitted that I should follow the same course here and fix a rate specifically by reference to the disabilities encountered by the painters in the shipping industry. I have decided to adopt this approach more particularly because the scope of the award is sufficiently limited to enable a reasonably accurate assessment to be made on this basis.

It is true, as Mr. Boylan said, that there are a number of disabilities suffered by painters in the building industry to which painters in the shipping industry are not subjected or are not subjected to the same extent. A good deal of the work of the painter in the building industry for example is performed from ladders or scaffolds and some of it at least is performed in conditions which expose the worker to the weather. Painters in the shipping industry, however, are almost continuously subject to a disability which does not generally apply in the building industry in that


most of their work is carried out in relatively confined areas. As the inspections showed, the cabins are much smaller than rooms in a normal domestic dwelling and work in them is rendered difficult by the presence of fixed fittings and furniture. Then again much of the work is carried out in toilets which are also very restricted in area and, even in passage ways, the workers are confined more than is usually the case in the building industry. This confinement accentu- ates the unpleasantness arising from paint and lacquer fumes particularly when, as is frequently the case, highly volatile vehicles are employed. In addition, the painting of deckheads is rendered difficult by the banks of pipes which are to be found in many places throughout the ship.

In addition to the foregoing matters, painters working on board ship are frequently without a proper place in which to change their clothes or leave their personal gear and are therefore in a worse position than workers generally under the Building Trades Award.

For these reasons I am of the opinion that the work of a painter engaged on the painting of ships is attended by conditions which justify the payment of an allowance at least as great as that prescribed in the Building Trades Award.

As I have mentioned, a disabilities allowance of five shillings per week is at present paid to painters employed by the State Shipping Service whether they are working on the ship or in the shop and Mr. Boylan submitted that any allowance fixed should be payable on the same basis. Whilst no material was placed before me on which I could assess with accuracy the time spent respectively on ship and on shore, it is clear that all of the work of these employees is not subject to the disablities which I have described above. I have therefore fixed the allowance at twelve shillings per week for permanent workers. Casual workers, however, are employed almost exclusively on ship work and full allowance for this has been made in the casual rate prescribed.

(b) Ship Repair Allowance. Except for certain working conditions for which

special provision is made in another clause, the disabilites allowance is intended to cater for all features of employment in this industry which are not usually associated with the work of a painter in the building industry. The prescription of a ship repair allowance is therefore unnecessary and the claim in this regard is accordingly refused. In any event, as I indicated during the hearing, I consider that the inclusion of such a provision in this award would be wrong in principle and, in those circumstances, the mere fact that it is paid to workers under the Ship Painters and Dockers' Award is not a sufficient reason for including it here.

(c) Leading Hands. A general claim was made for an additional

margin of two pounds five shillings per week for leading hands but, on the evidence, it would appear that the only leading hand to whom this award will apply is the one employed by the State Ship- ping Service. I have, therefore, fixed a rate for this position only. The award can be admended at any time if any other leading hand appointments are made during its currency. The leading hand employed by the State Shipping Service has four permanent painters and a varying number of casual painters under his control. In regard to the latter, it is his responsibility to assess the number required from time to time and to obtain

them, either through the union or by personal contact. At times it is necessary for him to do this in his own time. He is under the general supervision of a foreman who is not a tradesman painter and he is consequently left very much in direct control of the painting work and the supervision of the men engaged on that work. He is also required to organise work on the shore in such a manner as to ensure that the permanent staff are continually employed when no vessels are in port. In all the circumstances I am of the opinion that the additional amount claimed is reasonable for this employee and it will be included in his margin.

(d) Tool Allowance. The amount of tool allowance was agreed but

the respondents sought the inclusion of a provision whereby the allowance would not be payable if the employer supplied all necessary tools. This provision is a reasonable one and will be included.

(e) Casual Workers. The regular employment of casual workers in

this industry was largely responsible for the claim by the applicant union that the award should be based upon the Ship Painters and Dockers' Award. Whilst I am not prepared to accede to the general submission made by Mr. White in this regard I do agree that tradesmen painters should not be paid less for the exercise of their skill than un- skilled or semi-skilled workers are paid for performing work which does not require the skill of a tradesman.

The hourly rate of pay of a casual ship painter and docker, however, includes an amount for lost time which is readily able to be calculated because of the provisions which exist both by award and by legislation for employment according to roster, for the control of the number of workers on that roster, for compulsory attendance at a pickup place and for the payment of attendance money. No such provisions exist in relation to employment under the award about to be issued. Furthermore, the casual labour employed by the State Shipping Service appears to fall into two categories, namely, elderly workers who have ceased to engage in full- time employment by their own choice or by force of circumstance, and workers who are usually employed in the building industry and who seek casual employment in the shipping industry from time to time, either as a temporary alternative or as a matter of temporary necessity.

In these circumstances, it is more appropriate, in my opinion, to look to the Building Trades Award for guidance in fixing the rates for these casual workers. A casual worker employed under that award receives a loading of five per cent, on the ordinary rate of pay and that ordinary rate of pay includes an allowance of one pound fourteen shillings and eightpence per week for lost time, public holidays and sick leave. Casual rates generally have remained unaltered for many years, and improvements in annual leave, sick leave, public holidays and long service leave since that time warrant an adjustment. Taking all these matters into consideration and other matters referred to later in this decision, I am of the opinion that a casual loading of seventeen and one-half per cent, is reasonable, and I so award.

Special Plates and Provisions. The union claimed a number of special rates

which apply to workers under the Ship Painters and Dockers' Award but I am satisfied from the evidence and inspections that the provisions claimed would, in general, have little if any application to


work under this award. Furthermore, whilst it may be reasonable to pay to non-tradesmen under the Ship Painters and Dockers' Award a special allowance for exercising part of the skill of a tradesman, there is no justification for paying an allowance to a tradesman for performing tasks which are well within the scope of his trade.

In view of these conclusions, the only special rate to be included is that referring to work done inside a compartment of a ship when pneumatic machines are being used on the outside of that compartment. In other respects the clause follows the provisions of Award No. 25 of 1958.

Unusually Obnoxious Work. There was no evidence of work being done to

which the clause claimed would relate. All obnoxious features of the work referred to during the hearing have been catered for by the disabilities allowance and other provisions of the award. This claim is therefore refused.

Non-accumulation o/ Special Rates. In view of the manner in which the award has

been framed, this clause is unnecessary and has not therefore been included.

Overtime. The principal matter in dispute in this clause

was whether double time should apply after two hours of overtime had been worked or after four hours of such overtime. Double time is payable after two hours overtime has been worked under the Ship Painters and Dockers' Award and under the Building Trades Award. It is true that under the Building Trades (Government) Award the rate of double time does not apply until after four hours of overtime but, in issuing that award, Schnaars, C.C. (as he then was), drew attention to the fact that workers under that award worked in close association with other workers who were paid for overtime on that basis (42 W.A.I.G. 491). I am accordingly of the opinion that the claim in this regard should be allowed.

The claim in relation to payment for broken time is refused as the evidence indicates that this does not apply. Annual Leave and Public Holidays.

The standard provisions recently determined as a result of two general enquiries have been included. Sick Leave and Long Service Leave.

I have included the provisions appearing generally in Government awards. Rest Periods.

The rest periods applying to ship painters and dockers have generally been observed by workers under this award with the knowledge and consent of the employer, There was no evidence of any intention to alter this practice and I therefore consider it unnecessary to include the provision in the award.

Travelling Time. The applicant sought, inter alia, the inclusion of

provisions taken directly from the Ship Painters and Dockers' Award but it is clear that some, at least, of these provisions would have no application to workers under this award. In any event, neither Mr. White nor any of his witnesses expressed any dissatisfaction with the present arrangements regarding transport of workers and I can see no reason to insert any provision in this regard. If

any difficulties do arise in this matter they can be remedied by way of amendment during the currency of the award.

Considerable dissatisfaction exists, however, particularly amongst casual workers, in regard to the non-payment of fares and travelling allowance and whilst dissatisfaction alone is not a sufficient reason for granting a claim, there are other factors in the present case which in my opinion justify the payment of fares and travelling allowance to casual workers.

Although casual employment is a regular feature in this industry there is insufficient work available to enable a tradesman to earn a consistent liveli- hood and he must perforce seek employment elsewhere as occasion demands. Such a worker is no less "following the job" in my opinion, than is a, worker who is employed solely in the building industry. Furthermore, although the work is done in the main for one employer, it is not carried out at the same place at all times. Painters may be required to report for work at the slipway, at any berth on Victoria Quay or on the north side of the harbour and, although it is true that all of these places are within a radius of half a mile from a central place on Victoria Quay, this is not an accurate measure of the inconvenience caused to workers who are required to work, for example, today at the slipway and tomorrow at North Wharf.

The painters on the permanent staff are, however, in a much different position and I have, therefore, included an amount for fares and travelling time in the casual workers rate.

Payment of Wages. Except in regard to payment for broken time,

there was very little real difference between the applicant's claim and the respondent's answer. As I have already indicated, the evidence did not re- veal the existence of broken time in this industry and I have therefore included the respondents' answer which, in my view, is a reasonable provision. Contract of Service.

Where permanent and continuous employment is available I am of the opinion that the contract of service should not be less than a weekly one, but I consider that a reasonable time should be allowed in the case of a new employee so that he and his employer can be mutually satisfied with the employment before entering into the obligations of a weekly contract. I have therefore adopted the provisions of the Building Trades (Gov- ernment) Award in which weekly hiring obtains after six months' service. In the case of casual workers, the employment will continue on an hourly basis. Minimum Period of Engagement.

The applicant claimed that workers should be engaged or paid for a minimum of four hours but, although such a provision appears in the Ship Painters and Dockers' Award, there was no evidence of its necessity here and the claim is therefore refused.

Preference. The Commission in Court Session recently held

that it had power to grant preference to unionists. Members of the applicant union have for many years enjoyed a right to preference of employment and the evidence shows that the State Shipping Service and the Public Works Department habitu- ally contact the union whenever casual workers are required. Furthermore, I am of the opinion


that a preference provision is desirable in this award as a means of protecting the right of tradesmen painters to work which the Board of Demar- cation gave them in 1947. For the foregoing reasons, I would have allowed the claim in this regard. The decision of the Commission in Court Sessions, to which I have just referred, is, however, the subject of an appeal to the Industrial Appeal Court and I therefore consider that it is preferable to await the outcome of that appeal before making any award prescription in the matter. I have accordingly reserved liberty to apply to the applicant union in the event of the Indus- trial Appeal Court holding that this Commission has power to grant a claim in relation to this matter. Accommoiatlon.

The applicant claimed that provisions should be included in the award to compel the employer to provide accommodation for men to change their clothing. Mr. Michel, the leading hand painter for the State Shipping Service, who was called as a witness by the applicant, gave evidence that it was impracticable at times for such accommodation to be made available but he indicated that, wherever it was practicable, the workers were allowed to change in a suitable portion of a vessel. In view of this evidence, I have made no provision in this regard but, as I have already mentioned, in fixing the disabilities allowance I have taken into consideration the disabilities occasionally suffered by these workers in this regard.

The applicant also claimed that the workers should be allowed five minutes to clean their hands at each break but I have simply continued in the Special Rates and Provisions clause the provision which appears in Award No. 18 of 1953 under which painters are allowed this time before meal time and knocking off time. In regard to the other rest periods to which I have referred, the time allowed is quite generous and the workers should, where necessary, wash their hands in their own time during those periods.

Board of Reference. This clause has been re-drafted to accord more

accurately with the provisions of the Industrial Arbitration Act, 1912-1963. Definitions.

The union claimed that a casual worker should be one who is not provided with six months' continuous employment by an employer but I have continued, in the Rates of Pay clause, the provisions contained in the existing award which are to the effect that a casual worker shall be one who is employed for less than one month, and I have adopted the provision from the Building Trades (Government) Award whereby an employee who is retrenched before completing nine months' continuous service with the one employer is to be paid the lost time allowance for each week of his employment less any payment made to him in respect of public holidays or sick leave. I have refused the claim for a definition of the term "employer" as that term is already defined under the Arbitration Act and I have refused the claims for a definition of "painter," "ship repairs" and "union" because those definitions are unnecessary in this award. Meal Hour Ferry Service.

The parties agreed that liberty be reserved to apply in regard to this matter if any such provision became necessary during the currency of the award. It seems to me, however, if a necessity

arises for such provision it will be so only as a result of some change in circumstances and, that being the case, liberty to apply is unnecessary as an application may be made to amend the award at any time if a change of circumstances occurs.

[At the speaking to the minutes on the 3rd July, 1964, it was shown that there had been a miscal- culation as to the casual rate and such rate was amended from Hi per cent, to 20 per cent.]

SCHOOLS STAFF. (Industrial School, Stoneville.)


No. 20 of 1963. Between Western Australian Industrial School's

Staff Association (Union of Workers), Appli- cant, and the Committee of Management, Hillston, Stoneville, W.A., Respondent.

Before Mr. Commissioner D. E. Cort. The 29th day of June, 1964.

Reserved Decision. THE COMMISSIONER: This is a reference of industrial dispute in which the applicant seeks an award to cover staff officers, employed at the Hillston Anglican Farm School at Stoneville, who are not at present covered by any other award or industrial agreement.

The parties have been able to reach agreement on all the matters in dispute except rates of pay, term, higher duties, preference, long service leave and contract of service. A determination of the principle difference of opinion between the parties


will generally be sufficient to determine the dispute in all respects and I will deal with that difference of opinion in the first place.

Mr. T. T. McHugh, on behalf of the applicant union, contends that members of the applicant union employed at Stoneville perform the same duties and carry out the same functions as other staff officers employed at Stoneville whose conditions of employment are prescribed in an agreement with the Civil Service Association registered under Part X—Government Officers of the Indus- trial Arbitration Act. It is, therefore, submitted that all of the workers concerned should be entitled to the same conditions of employment and the claim is generally worded accordingly.

Mr. G. A. Johnson, for the respondent employer, maintains that whilst officers covered by the Civil Service Agreement, hereinafter referred to as "departmental officers", perform the same duties as the workers concerned in this reference, hereinafter referred to as "institution officers", the function of each is different. He claims that the departmental officer, having graduated from a training scheme, is more capable than an institution officer in the handling and treatment of boys at Stoneville and, for this reason, the comparison sought to be made by Mr. McHugh has no foundation.

For convenience, these two views have been briefly stated and do not represent a complete summary of the submissions in support of or in opposition to the basic claim.

A brief reference to the manner in which the Anglican Farm School at Stoneville is controlled and staffed is necessary to explain the background to this principal difference of opinion.

Stoneville was originally completely administered by the Anglican Church, through a committee of management, as an orphanage. That committee employed all of the staff required for the work. It now exists as an industrial school to which only the Child Welfare Department has the right to send boys for correction and is completely financed by the Government through that Department. The present committee of management, consisting of seven persons, four representing the Anglican Church and three representing the Child Welfare Department, still has the overall responsibility to administer the school including the employment of staff: However, the Director of Child Welfare has at least some indirect control over the school other than as a member of the committee. In evidence, Mr. McCall stated he is "the guardian of all wards and responsible for their care and custody and control of their property; and as such the Depart- ment, through me, has to be assured in respect to all its wards wherever placed—those at Hillston included—that their welfare is properly managed and maintained". I have taken the use of the term "wards" as including boys sent to Hillston for correction and I have no doubt that if the Director of Child Welfare was of the opinion that the committee of management was not properly caring for those boys as required by legislation, he would, quite correctly, intervene in his capacity as Director.

In earlier years the committee employed all staff but, in more recent years, whilst it still employs some staff other officers, employed by the Child Welfare Department, are seconded for duty at the school and from time to time these departmental officers have replaced officers employed by the committee. Some of the institution officers have been dismissed and it is said that all institution officers, with the exception of two, will be eventually

replaced in this manner. It is for this reason the union claims that the employment of its members should be protected. It will be seen that in time the committee will employ no staff officers at all, but will utilise workers supplied by the Depart- ment if the present policy continues to be applied.

These departmental officers are required to perform work at other places but at Stoneville the same duties as those performed by institution officers are carried out as Is evidenced by the replacement policy referred to above. However, it is claimed that, whilst institution officers are generally capable of performing custodian duties only, departmental officers are instructed in and capable of doing reform work for which a higher salary is paid. The institution officers feel that they are being unreasonably treated, particularly as the highest margin which they can now attain is £3 17s. per week compared with a margin of £15 6s. per week for a departmental officer. Thirty- two officers are at present stationed at Stoneville, twenty-five of whom are departmental officers including seven who were previously institution officers but who qualified for and passed the training course. The remaining seven officers will be covered by this award and each has applied for training but for various reasons all have failed to qualify for selection to undertake the course.

One matter raised by Mr. McHugh was whether the committee of management or the Child Welfare Department was the true employer. The committee is the cited respondent to this reference and Mr. Johnson, as agent for the committee, says it employs these officers, so that it must be regarded as the employer concerned in this reference. The dispute to be settled is therefore between the union and the committee and it is that body which must carry the responsibility of the employer. The Commission cannot in this reference place obligations on the Department but on the other hand the Department cannot usurp the responsibilities of the employer. Mr. McHugh may have raised this question to support another submission that, under section 40 of the Act, the terms and conditions of the Civil Service Agreement applied to institution officers but such a submission must fail as that agreement only covers officers who have graduated from the training scheme.

Considerable discussion took place as to whether the policy of the Child Welfare Department, which has been virtually adopted by the employer, was correct. That policy is one of preferring to utilise officers who have graduated from the training scheme. The union contends that this scheme does not produce more capable officers but the Director of Child Welfare says that since the introduction of departmental officers to Stoneville a noticeable improvement has taken place in the work achieved. This improvement may, of course, have been otherwise achieved for the salary now payable to departmental officers, even in the first year, is £8 9s. per week higher than that paid to institution officers. This higher salary would attract more applicants for the positions than previously and allow for more selective appointments to be made. However, for reasons to be stated, it is not necessary for me to endeavour to determine the individual merits of these submissions.

It is a well established principle that industrial authorities do not interfere with the right of an employer to manage his business as he thinks fit as it is the employer who must bear the responsibilities of his actions. In this case, the Director of Child Welfare may "interfere" with that right to some extent but, if anything, that is an additional reason why this Commission should not, by an


award, interfere with the selection of staff or to otherwise supplant the view of the committee as to the best method of training or employing staff. I do not consider myself competent to determine whether the present procedure is efficient or not or whether it produces the most ideal result in the corrective training of boys. This is not to say that an industrial authority should not intervene if an employer imposes unreasonable conditions upon his employees. In a Government Printing Award decision reported in Volume 44 W.A.I.G. p. 265 at p. 266 this "right of management" is discussed in greater detail.

Although I must accept the employer's submission that departmental officers have some additional capabilities, if not responsibilities, this does not dispose of the union's contention that regard should be paid to the industrial agreement covering those officers. This Commission is required to determine fair and reasonable conditions of employment and, whilst I agree with Mr. Johnson that an agreement between two other parties should be viewed with caution, it is an indication of what is considered fair and reasonable by a welfare department for an officer skilled in "youth work". That assessment must be balanced against that contained in the awards referred to by the employer which it is claimed are more appropriate for comparison purposes.

As has already been stated, only seven workers are at present employed who will be subject to this award. I feel it desirable to indicate that if in the future this number is considerably reduced, as may happen, the employer would need stronger arguments for me to refuse the claim. At that point of time the abilities of the individual himself will become more important as against today when those of the average worker must be considered. In addition, the officers will have obtained more practical experience at Stoneville and as the employer has determined that the training scheme undertaken by departmental officrs is not only desirable but necessary for officers at Stoneville, it will surely not fail to give the present employees some training in order to better fit them for the work required. This is one of the employer's responsibilities to which I referred earlier and one which should not be avoided by utilising departmental officers for its work.

I have fixed the term of this award for two years in order that its provisions may be recon- sidered in 1966 if this be necessary.

Preference. This claim has caused me some concern particu-

larly as the employer intends to replace all of its staff, except two, with departmental officers. I have already indicated that management has the right to utilise labour considered by them to be the most competent and I would refuse to insert this provision to cause the employer to re-employ workers previously dismissed because each was less competent than other available labour. In addition, the effect of the claim is doubtful for, whilst it would require the committee to give preference of employment to union members, it may not be capable of granting preference over any person not actually employed by the committee.

Consideration must be given to whether the committee is acting unreasonably in respect to its present staff other than the two who have been guaranteed continued employment, a guarantee which does require an award prescription. These two officers were employed prior to 1959 but the remaining five, when employed after that date,

were each told that they would no longer be required when sufficient departmental officers had graduated from the training scheme to perform the work. In view of this condition of employment, I cannot hold that the employer should now be pre- vented from carrying out that stated intention. However, I do suggest that every endeavour should be made to assist these officers by training outside ordinary working hours either to fit them for selection for the training scheme or to increase their ability to such an extent that their services backed by some years of experience would be in- valuable. I make this suggestion in view of the satisfaction given by these officers to the extent of their capabilities and the interest shown by them in the work of the school. Also, whilst I agree that the selection and training of officers will generally produce more capable officers that selection and training will not necessarily in every case cause graduates to be more efficient than each of the institution officers, particularly if some training is given and selected work is allocated to them.

Rates of Pay. I have already indicated these officers cannot be

compared with departmental officers but whilst I agree with the employer that in the first year of service the margin to be prescribed should be less than that fixed for a gaol officer, it should be in excess of that for a hospital domestic. If a margin slightly in excess of that for a hospital domestic was fixed an all inclusive margin to- cover weekend and shift work would have to be about £5 per week. Each of these officers is not necessarily required to work over the weekend but this is also the situation with departmental officers and those officers receive the same margin whether they are required to so work or not and I see no reason why this principle should not apply to these workers. In addition, as neither party desires more than one rate to be prescribed, the minimum rate should not be less than that necessary to compensate an officer for working throughout the twenty- four hours of the day seven days a week irrespective of the hours worked by other officers.

Having reached this conclusion, I would fix a commencing minimum margin of £5 being an increase of £2 13s. per week which, together with the increments of fifteen shillings suggested by the employer, will give increases up to £4 3s. per week for staff officers.

In fixing the margin for a senior staff officer, the requirement to work shifts over any of the seven days of the week has also been taken into account. The true margin for skill in the first year of service will therefore be seen to have a similar relationship to that prescribed for a principal officer in the Gaol Officers' Award as did the staff officer to the prison officer.

Long Service Leave. This Commission must determine fair and rea-

sonable conditions of employment and, in my view, the employer's answer is not unreasonable. That answer provides for leave similar to that granted to government wages employees which is more lib- eral than that usually awarded by this Commis- sion.

I would indicate that my views in this respect are not dissimilar from those of Mr. Commissioner Schnaars, reported in Volume 42 W.A.I.G. at page 157.

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL GAZETTE. 15 July, 1964.]

General. As to the two remaining matters in dispute, a

weekly contract is not unreasonable whilst, in view of the marginal structure, the higher duties clause suggested by the employer seems more appropriate.

I would draw the attention of the parties to section 69 of the Act and indicate that at the speaking to the minutes each will be afforded the opportunity of exercising the rights specified in that section if, of course, such an opportunity is desired.

(4) A worker who finds that he is unable to resume duty on the expiration of the period shown on the first certificate shall thereupon furnish a further certificate and shall continue to do so upon the expiration of the period respectively covered by such certificates.

(5) The employer, on receipt of an application for leave of absence on account of illness and supported by a certificate of a registered medical practitioner, may require a further certificate from a Government Medical Officer.

(10) No leave on account of illness or injury shall be granted with pay if the illness or injury has been caused by misconduct of the worker or by circumstances within his control.

(11) The employer, in order to satisfy himself in any case, may send a registered medical practitioner to attend on or examine the worker at his residence and if the report of the practitioner is, in the opinion of the employer not favourable to the application of the worker concerned, the fee payable to the practitioner shall be deducted from any money which is or becomes payable to the said worker by the employer.

(12) Where in the discharge of his duties a worker sustains injuries which would be compen- sative in accordance with the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act and which necessitates the granting of leave under this award half the period only of such leave on full pay and/or half pay respectively shall be charged against his sick leave entitlements or sick leave credits as the case may be.

BUILDING TRADES. Award No. 24 of 1958.


No. 828 Of 1963.

Between Master Builders' Association of Western Australia (Union of Employers), Perth, Appli- cant, and Building Trades Association of Unions of Western Australia (Association of Workers), Respondent.

Before Chief Industrial Commissioner S. F. Schnaars, Esq.

The 1st day of July, 1964.

Reserved Decision.

THE COMMISSIONER: In this matter the Master Builders' Association of Western Australia (Union of Employers), Perth, has applied to amend Award No. 24 of 1958 for the purpose of extending to private industry the principle of a three-year apprenticeship scheme which I included in the Gov- ernment Building Trades Award on the 26th Octo- ber, 1962. The application of the scheme is to the effect that youths will, in lieu of an additional year of normal schooling, attend a full time technical class for one year in which they will specialise in training for employment in the trades of either carpentry or bricklaying. The scheme does not in any way at this particular stage include painters, plasterers, or plumbers.

Since I first included this method of apprenticeship training in an award, I have taken a keen interest in its development. There can be no doubt of the fact that the scheme as a whole has been highly satisfactory and is bringing into industry, on a three-year apprenticeship basis, youths who commence in industry with a sound basic training of their particular trade and who will, undoubtedly, become outstanding craftsmen competent to play an important role in the higher executive positions associated with industry.

In the light of facts, evident from the manner in which the scheme has operated with the Govern- ment Building Trades Award, I find it extremely difficult to understand why there should be any opposition to its extension. These youths commence their training at the one period, as distinct from normal apprenticeships where technical training commences at varied periods throughout the year. In this way they go through the whole of their apprenticeship technical training from the commencement of each year's course to its conclusion. This must be of distinct advantage not only to the apprentices but to the technical authorities who have the responsibility of ensuring that their part of the training is undertaken in an efficient and thorough manner.

The proposals for this type of training were not lightly introduced. They followed a very ex- tensive inquiry, culminating in "A Report of the Fact Finding Committee on the Apprenticeship System in the Building Trade" in March, 1962, which recommended such a scheme.

There has since been a committee set up to in- quire into the apprenticeship system as a whole in Western Australia and, although the findings of this committee have been forwarded to the Minister, they have not yet been made public.

342 [15 July, 1964.

A suggestion has been put forward on behalf of the unions that it would be inappropriate at this stage to extend the three-year apprenticeship system without first having knowledge of the findings of this committee. However, the success of the scheme already introduced makes it most unlikely that this committee will in any way make suggestions which could adversely affect the present scheme. Notwithstanding this, I have included in the order a leave to apply provision so that the amendment now made may be modified if anything does arise out of this committee's report which would justify such a course of action. The award will be amended in accordance with the application as amended during the hearing, together with a leave to apply provision.

Order accordingly.

BUTCHERS. (Metropolitan District Abattoir—Local

BEFORE THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INUDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.

No. 470 of 1963.

Between West Australian Branch, Australasian Meat Industry Employees' Union, Industrial Union of Workers, Perth, Applicant, and Hon. Minister for Agriculture and Midland Junction Abattoir Board, Respondents.

Application to Amend Award No. 45 of 1955. Before Mr. Commissioner D. E. Cort.

The 23rd day of June, 1964. Reserved Decision.

THE COMMISSIONER: In this application the union seeks to amend the Midland Junction Abat- toir Award by increasing the rates prescribed therein in accordance with the ten per cent, wage formula which has been generally applied to workers in this State. Reference was made to a number of meat industry awards applicable in this and other States where marginal increases have been granted following the decision in the Federal Metal Trades Margins case and it was contended that workers covered by this award should receive

.similar increases.

Mr. L. E. Boylan, for the respondent employer, contended that the principle followed in 1960 (refer Vol. 40 W.A.I.G. p. 798) in connection with the

"twenty-eight per cent, marginal formula" should be adopted and that an increase of six per cent, only should be granted.

In that case, Mr. Commissioner Schnaars ascertained the cash increase to which a solo slaughterman in this State was entitled under the formula and granted that amount to slaughtermen. In respect to other workers, he ascertained the percentage relationship of that increase to the average secondary wage of slaughtermen on beef, mutton and pigs and then applied that percentage to the marginal rates.

Mr. M. E. Burns, on behalf of the applicant union, submitted that meat industry workers in this State had lost ground when compared to similar employees in South Australia by reason of the 1960 decision and that a ten per cent, increase would to some small extent at least assist to remedy that position. In South Australia, slaughtermen have received an increase of fourteen shillings or about six and a half per cent., being an increase calculated on the same method as followed in that State in 1960 and to which reference was made in the 1960 decision referred to by Mr. Boylan.

I have decided that, in all the circumstances, I should follow the same principles as that applied by Mr. Commissioner Schnaars. In addition to the matters referred to in that 1960 decision I should mention that this is not an ordinary application to amend the award in respect to marginal rates in which regard would be paid to the work value of the various classifications of workers concerned or other relevant information. It is virtually an application to determine the method of increasing the wages prescribed in the award as a result of the ten per cent, increase in marginal rates generally. The method of fixing the rates for slaughtermen indicates that the secondary wage is not a true margin and, in paying regard to the history of the award, the principle adopted in 1960 appears to be an appropriate method of adjusting the wages on this occasion.

A review of the awards in the other States indicates that in South Australia and Victoria only has an adjustment been made by reason of the formula alone in 1960 and 1963 and in those States the 1963 increase was either ten per cent, of the "solo" slaughterman's margin or an amount extremely close thereto.

I turn now to consider the method by which the principle, determined in 1960 by Mr. Commissioner Schnaars, is to be applied but, before doing so, I would mention that the six per cent, increase offered by the respondent is equivalent to the change in the purchasing power of money between the September Quarter 1959 and the December Quarter 1962 referred to in the 1963 Federal Metal Trades Margins Decision.

The respondent submits that the marginal rate in this State of £4 7s. 6d. in the Meat Export Award is the equivalent of the slaughterman's rate elsewhere and is the one to be used. That margin was used by Mr. Commissioner Schnaars in 1960 but since then a Meat Industry (South-West Land Divi- sion) Award, No. 26 of 1959, has been issued which replaced certain other awards containing the meat export margin (i.e., £4 7s. 6d.). That South-West Award contained a margin of £5 10s. per week which was subsequently increased to £6 Is. per week on the application of the ten per cent, formula. I consider that this increase of eleven shillings should be applied to slaughtermen and that, on the


principle adopted in 1960, margins generally should be increased by seven and one-half per cent. The method of arriving at this percentage is set out on page 2 of Exhibit No. 4.

I draw the parties' attention to subsection (3) of section 69 of the Industrial Arbitration Act and advise them that they will have the opportunity of being heard in respect to my use of the South- west Award referred to above at the speaking to the minutes. That award was by consent but for additional assistance I suggest that regard be paid to the provisions of a Metropolitan Meat Industry Award, No. 4 of 1935 (Volume 15 W.A.I.G. p. 295) which covered both shop butchers and slaughtermen and to a decision of Mr. Commissioner Schnaars reported in Volume 40 W.A.I.G. p. 696 in which he fixed a new margin for shop butchers.

The minutes of this amendment will now issue and, subject to the desires of the union, the speaking to the minutes will take place on Friday next.

WYNDHAM MEAT WORKS. Award No. 10 of 1946.



Meat Industry Employees' Union, Industrial Union of Workers, Perth, Applicant, and Wyndham Freezing, Canning and Meat Export Works, Respondent.

Application for Amendment of Award No. 10 of 1946.

Before Mr. Commissioner D. E. Cort. The 23rd day of June, 1964.

Reserved Decision. THE COMMISSIONER: This is an application to amend the Wyndham Meat Works Award, No. 10 of 1946, by increasing the marginal rates and secondary wages prescribed therein by ten per cent.

Mr. M. E. Burns, on behalf of the union, maintains that the ten per cent, increase in margins generally is sufficient reason for this award to be varied in a similar manner, particularly as in 1960

15 July, 1964.] 353

the rates were increased by twenty-eight per cent, when margins generally were varied by the same amount. He pointed out that when the district allowance of three pounds ten shillings per week was deducted from the "margin" in the award to obtain the amount to which the ten per cent, increase would be applied, that margin was so low as to require such an increase.

Mr. L. E. Boylan, for the employer, argued that it was wrong to apply ten per cent, increase, for to do so would be contrary to the principle determined in a 1960 decision affecting the Midland Abattoirs and the W.A. Meat Export Works (Vol. 40 W.A.I.G. p. 798). He claimed an increase similar to that suggested for the Midland Abattoirs was sufficient for, if a higher amount was granted, the additional labour cost would place the works at a competitive disadvantage.

This award can be distinguished from the Midland Abattoir Award although, in my opinion, the 1960 decision referred to by Mr. Boylan does not support his submission that an increase of ten per cent, should not be granted in any margin prescribed in this award. In that 1960 decision, Mr. Commissioner Schnaars referred to the margins fixed for the Midland Abattoir as not being true margins and, for that reason, an increase of less than twenty-eight per cent, was awarded. It should be noted that in the portion of the decision dealing with the Meat Export Award some margins were increased by twenty-eight per cent. These margins were those which were considered by the Commissioner as being true margins. I have not considered each of the margins prescribed in the Wyndham Award but the submission of Mr. M. E. Burns indicates that all of the margins do not contain additional amounts as referred to by Mr. Commissioner Schnaars in 1960. The agreement of the parties in 1960 to apply a twenty-eight per cent, increase to these margins is a sufficient indication that it would be proper to now award a ten per cent, increase.

Insofar as the contract rates are concerned, I see no apparent difference between them and the rates per head prescribed in other meat awards, for example the Midland Award. Such rates would appear to contain in the secondary wage an element other than a margin to which a ten per cent, increase should not be applied but, in 1960, although the Department of Labour strenuously argued against a twenty-eight per cent, increase in the Midland and Meat Export Awards, it con- sented to such an increase in the Wyndham Award. It was then considered that the Wyndham Award should be distinguished and I see no reason, after considering the history of this award since 1954, why I should depart from the method of applying marginal increases adopted by the parties in the past. It may well be that the marginal and secondary wage structure of this award requires a complete revision as implied by both Mr. Burns and Mr. Boylan in their respective submissions but, until such a review is undertaken, practices previously applied should be continued.

I would, therefore, also apply the ten per cent, increase to the secondary wage element of the contract rates.

The minutes of the proposed order will now issue. I draw the parties attention to the changed wording in Clause 22—Basic Wage Adjustment. Some words, which to me appear to be unnecessary, have been deleted and I have noted that an amendment to the present award would appear to indicate that the contract rates, for example, in clause 25, are

based on a basic wage of £14 14s. Id. per week In my opinion, the contract rates are, in fact, based on a basic wage of £13 17s. 4d. per week and I suggest that the calculations which must be made should be made on the basis of that £13 17s. 4d,

The parties will note that in the proposed order certain rates in clauses 25, 28, 29 and 30 have been omitted and I would suggest that the parties confer and fix the appropriate amount to be inserted. I would also suggest that it may be opportune for an exhibit to be prepared and handed in to the Commission to form part of the papers of these proceedings in order to indicate how these rates have been calculated in the past.

I would also add that, in my opinion, it seems unnecessary to take the rates out to four decimal places as in the present award. So far as Clause 30—Minimum Daily Wages is concerned, I do not know how any worker could expect, or how an employer could pay to the worker a minimum daily wage of £5 4s. 10.7055d. I suggest it is more realistic to keep these in pure pounds, shillings and pence even if it is not possible to adduce some of the decimal places in other calculations.

Speaking to the minutes of this matter will also take place next Friday, in view of the other proceedings on that day.

COMPLAINTS-

In the Industrial Court held at

Perth-

Complaint No. 4 of 1964. Between West Australian Operative Bakers' Union

of Workers, Complainant, and Ermanno De Campo and Gisella De Campo, trading as De Campo's Bakery, Defendants.

Charge: Breach of Award No. 15 of 1961. Per- mitting workers other than doughmakers to perform work prior to the prescribed or permissible starting time on the 20th day of November, 1963.

Mr. D. W. Fletcher for the Union. Mr. N. Nash for the Defendants. Before T. Ansell, Esq., Industrial Magistrate,

at Perth. The 5th day of March, 1964.

Reserved Decision. THE complaint alleges that on 21st November, 1963, defendants committed a breach of Award 15 of 1961 in that they permitted workers other than doughmakers to perform work prior to the prescribed or permissible starting time on Wednesday, 20th November, 1963.

The starting time for this day had been fixed by the Minister under paragraph C of section 12 of the Bread Act, 1903-1962, at 2 a.m.

Workers other than doughmakers were working on defendants' premises at nine minutes to 2 a.m.

The defendants conceded that a ■prima facie case in the terms of the complaint had been made out, contenting themselves with arguing that the word permitting should be construed to mean "wilfully permitting".

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL GAZETTE. 15 July, 1964.]

But Award 15 of 1961 does not declare permitting or wilfully permitting workers other than doughmakers to perform work prior to the prescribed or permissible starting time to be an offence against this award.

The words of the complaint show no offence described by the award on the part of the employers and for this reason the complaint should be dismissed.

Employing workers other than doughmakers prior to the prescribed starting time may be an offence on the part of the employers but that was not charged in the complaint. In the circumstances it is not necessary to decide this point.

The complaint is dismissed.

Complaint No. 261 of 1964. Between the Operative Painters and Decorators'

Union of Australia, West Australian Branch, Union of Workers, Complainant, and Western Glass Works Pty. Ltd., Defendant.

Charge: Breach of Award No. 24 of 1958. Between 26th April, 1963, and 20th December, 1963, at Perth, employing John Jones, glazing employee, on glazing as defined in the award not being a cadet or apprentice and failing to pay him the adult male rate contrary to the provisions of clause 36 of the Award. Claim £438 15s. 9d.

Mr. J. G. White appeared for Complainant. Mr. R. W. Cannon of Counsel appeared for

Defendant. Before K. H. Hogg, Esq., Industrial Magistrate.

The 25th day of June, 1964.

Reserved Decision. THIS is a complaint by Mr. J. G. White, the Secretary of the Operative Painters and Decorators' Union of Australia, W.A. Branch, that the defendant company between the 26th April, 1963, and the 20th December, 1963, being a party bound by Award No. 24 of 1958 committed a breach thereof in that they employed John Jones on glazing as defined in the award, not being a cadet or apprentice, and failed to pay him the adult male rate, contrary to the provisions of clause 36 of the said award. There is also a claim made for wages short paid amounting to £438 15s. 9d. for a period from the 26th April, 1963, to the 20th December, 1963.

Clause 36 of the award reads as follows, so far as it relates to this charge:—

The employment of . . . junior workers (except cadets or apprentices as defined by the Apprenticeship Regulations) on any work which if performed by an adult male worker would be subject to the provisions of this Award, is prohibited, unless the consent of the appropriate Union is in each case first obtained, and if any . . . junior worker (except a cadet or apprentice as so defined) is so employed in breach of this Clause, such worker shall be paid not less than the wages for an adult male performing similar work . . .

Clause 36 obviously does not purport to prohibit the employment of junior workers, other than cadets or apprentices, on any work of a glazier as defined in the award. What it prohibits is the employment of junior workers on any work which would bring an adult male worker under the provisions of the award. The question, therefore, to be considered is, what work within the meaning of the term "glazier" as defined in the award would bring an adult male worker within its provisions and entitle him to payment of the wages prescribed for an adult male glazier.

The principles to be applied in determining this question of the application of an award, so far as it applies to the present case, are I think, set out in the decision of Mr. President Dwyer in John Wills & Co. Ltd. v. The Operative Painters' and Decorators' Industrial Union of Workers reported in 19 W.A.I.G. at page 501, in the following terms:—

"It has been decided in this Court that where an employer in respect of a worker might be possibly considered as being obliged to conform to the conditions of more than one award of the Court of Arbitration then, particularly in view of the fact that a breach of an award is made a criminal act by the legislature, the facts dealing with the particular worker have to be considered so as to ascertain in what capacity he is engaged and what substantially has been the work he is required to do. In the result, the award dealing with the major or substantial part of his work has been held to be the award which governs his employment and the conditions which have to be observed by his employer."

The evidence in this case shows that John Edward Jones, who was then aged 14 years, commenced employment with the defendant company on the 5th November, 1960, in a shop kept by the company in Adelaide Street, Fremantle. Apart from the sale of Selleys products and laminex offcuts, articles sold consisted of glass products, mainly used in the building trade, which were processed or prepared for sale either in the workshop at the rear of the premises or in the company's factory at Melville.

The evidence of John Jones is that he was taught all phases of the work of a glazier, so far as they were carried out in the shop, by the shop manager, Mr. Roberts. He was unable to say what he was engaged as, but he was anxious to become ap- prenticed and wished to prove himself suitable for an apprenticeship. After about six months at the shop he started to do glazing and cutting louvres and squares of glass for customers without supervision. He was then occupied in glazing work as defined in the award for six hours a day on the average.

In June, 1963, owing to the impending closure of the shop, due to resumption of the premises under a redevelopment scheme, Mr. Roberts was sent "out on the road" with the object of diverting work from the shop to the factory in Melville, and John Jones was left to run the shop.


In October, 1963, Jones was transferred to the factory following closure of the shop and, according to defence evidence, was there engaged as a junior labourer. To all intents and purposes however, the evidence shows he was doing the work of an apprentice glazier on probation. His services were eventually terminated on the 28th December, .1963, and he has since been accepted and registered as a third-year apprentice glazier by a rival company, Victor Glass Ltd.

Mr. Cannon, who appeared for the defendant company, firstly submitted that the evidence fell short of establishing the wage actually paid to Jones which he claimed could have been the full amount payable to a glazier under the award. I will deal with this briefly by saving that I find there is ample prima facie evidence that he was not paid the wage applicable to an adult male glazier. It is a condition of the award that a person so employed shall be paid accordingly and this is negatived in the complaint which amounts to prima facie proof of the fact in accordance with section 72 of the Justices Act which, by regulation 68 (D of the Industrial Arbitration Act (Western Australian Industrial Commission) Regu- lations 1964, applies to these proceedings.

But in any event, if judicial notice cannot be taken of these regulations without formal proof (which has not been raised) there is uncontradicted evidence that between the 5th November, 1960, and the 30th June. 1961, Jones received £103 10s. lid., an average of £3 0s. lid. a week, which is less than the amount of £3 16s. 2d. applicable to a shoo assistant as shown in the schedule of the complaint for the week ended the 7th July, 1961. Further- more, Mr. Butler gave evidence that when he asked the accountant, Mr. Marshall for the time and wages book he was refused, but was told that Jones was employed as a shop assistant. It is a fair inference that if he was thus employed he was paid as such. Also, Mr. Oliver said in evidence that he thought he was employed as a junior sales assistant at the shop and at the factory he was engaged as a junior labourer.

Mr. Cannon also raised objection in his final address to hearsay evidence given by Mr. Butler of a conversation with Mr. Roberts who said he agreed that Jones' story as related by Butler was correct.

It probably would have been better, in the circumstances, if the prosecution had left the defence to call Mr. Roberts, as I think this evidence would have been admissible as an admission by an agent of the defendant company within the scope of his implied authority as manager of the shop. (See Kirkstall Brewery v. Furness Railway (1874) L.R. 9 Q.B. 468.) In any event, no evidence was led as to the details of the lad's story as related to Mr. Roberts to which he is alleged to have agreed and I feel compelled to disregard it.

The evidence falls into two, or possibly three, ■periods. Firstly, there is the period of Jones' employment in the shop, before and after Roberts "went out on the road", and secondly there is the period to be considered during his engagement at the factory,

Jones gave his evidence in a very frank manner and impressed me with his honesty. I think, however, it is unlikely that he spent six hours a day in glazing as defined in the award. It is clear that included in the six hours he spent a considerable part of his time wiping and wrapping louvres, and attending to people in the shop. The other two hours he said he spent in sweeping the floor and catching up on bookwork.

Mr. Roberts, who was a witness for the prosecution, in general agreed with Jones' evidence, and be said that the lad would have averaged only three hours a day on actual glazing work, the rest of his time being spent on other duties in the shop.

The definition of a glazier in clause 3 (e) (ii) of the award does not include "wiping" and wrapping of louvres and Mr. White admitted that "wiping" louvres (i.e., removing the arris from the blade of the glass with an emery wheel) was not cutting glass, but he said that a glazier normally wiped and wrapped louvres after cutting. It also appeai-s from the evidence that this is normally the work of an apprentice at the Melville factory. It is not, however, strictly within the definition.

X am inclined to think, viewing the evidence as a whole, that the estimate of three hours daily of Mr. Roberts apnroximates more closely to the time spent on actually cutting, fixing and fitting glass within the terms of the definition. It is true, having taught him the glazing work of the shoo, Roberts must have come to rely upon Jones to do a fair share of this work and, when he "went on the road" and Jones was left alone in the shop, the proportion of glazing work increased. It is quite probable also that he was slower than a fully trained adult glazier who had served an apprenticeship, but the important thing to keep in mind is the actual time spent in glazing work and not his efficiency in performing those duties.

Roberts claimed that the daily average of glass processed in the shop during the twelve months from July, 1962, to June, 1963, amounted to 73 square feet a day, but it is impossible for me to draw any conclusions from this as there is no evidence as to the amount a trained glazier would normally process in a day's work, assuming that the same quantity was being processed in August.

Roberts also produced figures of cash sales taken out by the company, but which he claimed he had checked and found correct. From these he estimated that in August Jones spent 45.1 minutes per day on glazing and he himself spent 4.5 minutes. However suspicious one might be of those figures, they are given in evidence by the prosecution's own witness. It is true that Roberts received recent promotion in the company and might, therefore, be regarded as biased, but it is also true, according to his evidence, that he is Jones' brother's father- in-law. In the circumstances, I feel his evidence must be accepted.

The question is, therefore, would an adult male worker engaged as a shop assistant or shop sales- man or other category of worker, employed as

IB Juiy, 1964.] WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL GAZETTE. 359

Jones was employed for three hours a day on actual glazing, be regarded as employed substantially as a glazier under the award? The major part of the working day was occupied in duties not strictly the work of a glazier as defined in the award and, although some of those duties could well be within the scope of the training of a glazier apprentice, as for example, unpacking and storing sheet glass at the shop, I do not think it can be faMy said that an adult male worker employed for three hours a day on glazing and the rest of the day on other duties is substantially employed as a glazier within the principles laid down in the case I have quoted.

In October, 1963, Jones was ostensibly engaged as a junior labourer at the Melville factory with the object of trying him out to see whether lie would be suitable for an apprenticeship. Mr. Clark, who is not now employed by the company, but was formerly in charge of the section of the factory in which Jones was engaged and whose evidence I accept, said that Jones spent three to three and a half hours a day on an average doing the work of a glazier. It is clear from his evidence that Jones was doing the same work as the other apprentice and to all intents and purposes was a probationary apprentice. He said he came on trial for apprenticeship as a cutter and glazier and it was one and a half months before he was ap- proached by Oliver, the works manager, for his opinion as to his suitability.

Accepting this evidence, the question must be asked, was this substantially the work of an adult male glazier or that of a labourer or other category of worker? I think the answer must be that an adult male worker doing the work of an apprentice glazier in the factory, as Jones was doing, cannot fairly be said to be substantially employed as a glazier, because the greater part of his time would be occupied in work not strictly within the definition in the award. At best it would be borderline and the defendant company would have to be given the benefit of a reasonable doubt so far as this prosecution is concerned.

This is not to say that I approve of the action of the employer, who might very well in the circumstances have given Jones an apprenticeship after the valuable service he rendered at the Fre- mantle shop instead of dismissing him "with a small bonus". It should not have been necessary to try him out for one and a half months before reaching a decision as to suitability after nearly three years' employment at the shop.

I have considered whether the work Jones was doing would have brought him within the definition of a labourer in the award thus entitling him to the wages of an adult labourer, but I am unable to find that the work he was doing falls within the work as so defined in the award, which applies in general terms to builders' labourers employed in construction work.

For these reasons the complaint must be dismissed.

Mi'. J. Toohey of Counsel for the Union. Mr. G. D. Clarkson of Counsel for Defendant. Before T. Ansell Esq., Industrial Magistrate.

The 23rd day of January, 1964. Reserved Decision.

COMPLAINTS 267 and 268 of 1963 made on 21st June, 1963, by the complainant union allege breaches of Award 13 of 1950, as amended, on the part of the defendant company.

By consent of the parties the complaints were heard together. ,

The complaints allege a short payment to the employee, Evers, of £389 10s. and £406 12s. 2d. respectively for overtime worked, Sunday work and holidays on which the worker worked.

The worker was engaged as and worked as a receiving clerk for the defendant from 11th Sep- tember, 1955, and up to 29th April, 1962.

Evers and his employer agreed that the weekly wage should be that applicable to a senior clerk plus £1 per week. The worker was paid on that basis from week to week.

The records containing the detail of the days and hours on which the worker was working have been destroyed; this occurred in 1962 when the M.T.T. took over the defendant company.

The service was busier in the summer months and a roster was introduced for the receiving clerks for summer time working and a separate roster for the normal service.

Evers worked more days and hours weekly during certain of the summer period under this roster than under the ordinary roster.

The worker cannot be sure when the summer roster began and ended in each year. But the evidence satisfies me that it operated for not less than six weeks in each of the years 1955 to 1959. I find that it began operating not earlier than the second week in December of each year.

Subject to the above, I was satisfied that the v/orker had worked the hours on the days shown in the schedule.

The union claim is based on the terms of the contract between the parties, but the union is entitled to recover in a complaint made before the Industrial Magistrate under the Industrial Arbitration Act according to award provisions.

In this case the calculation is to be made on the wage applicable to the classification of the worker and the work performed, that is as a receiving clerk.

As a clerk in receipt of a salary at the rate of £52 per annum in excess of the margin for a senior clerk the worker is not entitled to payment of overtime rates for overtime worked.

360 WESTlRN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL GAZETTE. [15 July, 1964.

Mr. Clarkson submitted that Evers, in this situation, was not entitled to be paid, under the award, for overtime worked.

In my opinion the award intends that a worker, in the situation referred to, is entitled to be paid at ordinary rates for overtime worked. If subclause 7 (g) intended that the worker receive no payment for overtime worked the clause would, I should expect, end at the word "overtime" first used in the subclause.

I find that the worker, though in receipt of this salary referred to, is entitled to be paid at ordinary rates for overtime work at the rate prescribed for a receiving clerk.

What is overtime in subclause 7 (d)? The clause is headed "overtime". A receiving clerk has a working week of six shifts of 6 hours 40 minutes spread over seven days. Work beyond 6 hours 40 minutes is to be paid for at the rate of time and a half for the first three hours, after that at double time.

The clause proceeds, "All time worked on Sun- days shall be paid for at the rate of time and a half. All time worked on the holidays prescribed in clause 7 shall be paid for at the rate of double time."

In my opinion Sundays worked and holidays as prescribed worked should be paid for at the rate prescribed:—

All Sunday work, at time and a half. All public holiday work as prescribed, at

double time. In the exercise of the discretion conferred by

section 99, subsection 5, I would limit the claim for wages to six years prior to 29th April, 1962. Counsel has undertaken to have made the necessary calculations in accordance with these findings.

The question of the limitation imposed by section 180 of the Industrial Arbitration Act to the recovery of wages short paid and its application here is reserved until after the calculations have been made.

Complaint No. 274 of 1964. Between The Western Australian Amalgamated

Society of Carpenters and Joiners' Industrial Union of Workers, Complainant, and P. C. Freiberg Pty. Ltd., Defendant.

Charge: Breach of Award No. 24 of 1958. Between 22nd August, 1963 and 31st January, 1964, at Bassendean, failing to pay thirteen workers correct wages and allowances provided for in clauses 9, 18 (a) (ii) and 36 of the Award.

Mr. Olney of Counsel appeared for the Com- plainant.

Mr. Cannon of Counsel appeared for the De- fendant.

Before K. H. Hogg, Esq., Industrial Magistrate. The 2nd day of July, 1964.

Reserved Decision. THE defendant company is charged that on various dates between the 22nd August, 1963, and 31st of January, 1964, at Bassendean, being a party

bound by Award No. 24 of 1958 it committed a breach thereof in that it failed to pay to thirteen workers the correct wages and allowances provided for in clauses 9, 18 (a) "(ii) and 36 of the said award and the complainant claims the sum of £229 4s. 5d.

The facts in this case do not appear to be in dispute and, although each party has called a witness, the question of credibility has not been raised. In any event, Mr. Quinn, the complainant union's organiser, left me in no doubt that he was a truthful witness and I accept his evidence.

His evidence, in brief, is that during August, 1963, and until January, 1964, the defendant company employed male workers on the University of W.A. Library building erecting wall cupboards, fixing partitioning and wall penalling and fixing plinths of timber on to the concrete columns above the skirting boards. These men were being paid under the Furniture Trades Award and it is claimed that they were engaged on "carpentry and joinery" as defined in the Building Trades Award, No. 24 of 1958, and should have been paid the rates applicable to that award.

Mr. Quinn's evidence also shows that Brisbane and Wunderlich Ltd. and Arcus Ltd., which are both named as respondents to the Building Trades Award, engage in work of the same nature as that performed by the defendant company, although there is some difference in the method of fixing which is the subject of patent rights.

I have been referred by both parties to the decision of Jackson, S.P.J., in Vilips and Carpenters' Union Volume 40 W.A.I.G. p. 877. In that case at p. 877 His Honour said:—

"By section 85, an award shall, whilst in force, be a common rule of any industry to which it applies, and shall (subject to an exception and a proviso which are not material to this case) become binding on all employers and workers, whether members of an industrial union or association or not, engaged at any time during its currency in that industry within the State. 'Industry' is defined in section 6 to include (a) any business, undertaking or calling of employers and (b) any calling, occupation or vocation of workers. In 1926 in Parker & Son v. Amalgamated Society of Engineers (29 W.A.L.R. 90) this Court held that for the purpose of the common rule section relating to industrial agreements (now section 42) the common object which it is sought to attain by the combined efforts of the employer and the worker indicates the industry in which they are engaged. It has not been doubted that this decision applies also to section 85. On this test, the industry in which the appellant and his workers were engaged at the material times was that of erecting picket fences. The question is whether that industry is one to which, by the operation of section 85, the Building Trades Award applied."

After dealing with the facts His Honour went on to say:—

"It would be a misuse of language to describe a man who is erecting a garden fence as being engaged upon the erection of a building. The fact that building contractors such as the Geraldton Building Co. and Hough & Sons erect fences around the buildings they construct does not make the appellant a building contractor. There was no evidence that any fencing contractor was a party to the award.


"Accordingly there was no proof that the appellant was engaged in any industry to which the award applied."

The award. No. 24 of 1958, was put in and its terms admitted without formal proof.

By clause 4 the award is made to apply "to all employers in the industries carried on by the respondents as set out in the schedule. . . whose principal business consists of the performance of contracts in which the main work to be done is of one or more kinds of work set out in the definitions contained in clause 3 of the award".

The definition of "industry" in section 6 includes a branch of an industry or a group of industries.

Clause 3 contains a definition of "carpentry and joinery" which includes "the fixing of any other work in wood, metal or plastic usually done by carpenters and joiners in hospitals, etc. . . . and all other places where carpenters and joiners are usually employed".

The evidence shows that carpenters and joiners are usually employed by Brisbane and Wunderlich Ltd. and Arcus Ltd., both respondents to the award, on the type of work performed by the defendant company known as repartitioning and that this work consists of fixing partitioning in wood and metal. I do not think any useful conclusion can be drawn from the fact that Brisbane and Wunderlich Ltd. and Arcus Ltd. have not been very successful in tendering for this work in competition with the defendant company. The fact is that they have tendered, which is evidence that they are engaged in the same industry. It is admitted that they are large organisations with considerable resources and the fact that they have not been successful may very well indicate the advantage enjoyed by the defendant company over its rivals, due to the fact that its employees are paid at lower rates as cabinetmakers on the work site, instead of at carpenters' and joiners' rates.

Mr. Mclntosh, who gave evidence for the defendant company, said:

"Apart from the difference in rates we prefer cabinetmakers because there is a great amount of cabinet work called on to be done which is a specialised trade and lends itself particularly to that class of work."

That might apply to the factory, but his own evidence has shown that no cabinet work is involved on the site in repartitioning as the panels are manufactured at the factory. This also applies to bank counters, bar counters, etc.

Mr. Mclntosh claimed that the company had been paying its men under the Furniture Trades Award for the past five years on repartitioning, but he admitted the company had paid its men as carpenters and joiners on the Fremantle Harbour Trust job to oblige the contractor.

The defence claims that the defendant company is engaged on a completely new process, not contemplated when the Building Trades Award was framed, and which may now require amendment, as many awards will no doubt require amendment from time to time due to technical advances, and that it is not the function of the Industrial Court in effect to make amendments to awards through the imposition of penalties.

This, in my view, is not a valid argument in the circumstances of this case. It is true that in 1958 when the log of claims was served the repartitioning industry was, in a sense, in its infancy, so far as the change from timber to metal framing is concerned and the change in methods of fabrication and erection. The fact is, however,

that the defendant company is not a respondent to either the Building Trades Award or the Furniture Trades Award. The argument that if the Building Trades Award was intended to apply the defendant company would have been a respondent to the award when it was handed down in 1960 (as indeed Vilips became following his case in that year) can hardly have any merit when the defendant company, an admitted leader in its field by 1962, was not made a respondent to the Furniture Trades Award. I think it is apparent, and I agree with Mr. Olney, that no valid or useful conclusions can be drawn from the presence or absence of respondents to an award.

Also, I cannot accept the argument that this case has come about simply because the law covering various types of work cannot keep up with technical advances and that the work is a completely different type of work from that contemplated by the award. The definition of "carpentry and joinery" would appear to take cognisance of technical advances in the materials normally used in the past by carpenters and joiners in the industry, when it uses the words, "fixing of any other work in wood, metal or plastic usually done by carpenters and joiners".

It appears to me that Vilips' case was decided on facts quite different from the facts in the present case. Here we have Brisbane and Wunder- lich Ltd. and Arcus Ltd. engaged in the same industry, or branch of industry, as the defendant company, and tendering against it in competition. Both companies are respondents to the Building Trades Award and in fact pay their employees engaged on that work in accordance with that award. In Vilips' case the only industry proved to have been carried on by respondents to the award was that of registered building contractors engaged in the erection or construction of buildings and the appellant was not shown to be in that industry, but in the industry of erecting picket fences.

In the present case, it has been proved that both Brisbane and Wunderlich Ltd. and Arcus Ltd. are engaged in essentially the same industry or branch of industry known as repartitioning and it has been shown that the defendant company is also engaged in that industry.

I find, therefore, that the charge has been proved beyond reasonable doubt and the defendant company will be convicted.

It has been agreed by the parties that in the event of my finding the charge proved they will confer to ascertain the amount of wages payable as a result. The question of penalty will, therefore, be reserved to enable the parties to confer.

COMPULSORY CONFERENCES- AUSTRALASIAN SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS AND

THE STATE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION OF W.A.

No. 115 of 1964. A compulsory conference was held before Mr.

Commissioner E. R. Kelly on 12th June, 1964, concerning the dismissal of a worker named Curtis for misconduct.

After some discussion, the Commissioner inti- mated that the case in question did not come within the scope of section 61 (2) (d) of the Indus- trial Arbitration Act, 1912-1963, giving power for

362

the reinstatement of employees, even if he thought this was justified, and the action open to the worker was to lodge an appeal for wrongful dismissal to the Appeal Board established under the State Electricity Commission Act, 1945-1959.

The Commissioner also suggested that it would, generally, be to the advantage of all parties if, in future, the State Electricity Commission's Indus- trial and Staff Office was used by the unions as the channel of communications between the unions and the General Manager in regard to industrial matters.

FORWOOD DOWN W.A. PROP. LTD. AND A.E.U. AND OTHERS.

No. 124 of 1964. Dispute—Alleged Wrongful Dismissal of Four

Workers. THE following is a summary of this dispute by the Chief Industrial Commissioner, Mr. S. F. Schnaars, together with his conclusions, following a compulsory conference on the 25th and 26th June, 1964.

This conference was held following receipt of a communication, dated the 24th June, 1964, from the Trades and Labour Council in which that Council, purporting to act on behalf of certain unions, requested an inquiry into the alleged wrongful dismissal of four workers recently employed by Forwood Down W.A. Prop. Ltd. The Commission decided to convene a compulsory conference under section 171 of the Industrial Arbi- tration Act, 1912-1963, and thereby allow all parties to ventilate any matters relevant to the dispute. Under this section it is possible to refer any matter, which is within the jurisdiction of the Commission, to the Commission in Court Ses- sion for hearing and determination. This is subject, of course, to firstly concluding that there is sufficient merit in the submissions to justify so referring the matter.

Mr. J. Coleman acted on behalf of the unions and the workers concerned and called Messrs. Hughes, Brandis, Giles, Nelson, Sharpe, Gill and Mutton to give evidence in support of his submissions, whilst Mr. J. Darling acted on behalf of the employer and called Messrs. Geddes, Howard, Campbell, Robinson, Seale, Jarvis, and Anders to give evidence.

It became obvious throughout this hearing that, in order to gain a proper appreciation of the rele- vancy of the various submissions, it was necessary to take into consideration all of the circumstances which were either directly or indirectly involved over a period of approximately two months preceding the dismissals. Certain of these aspects were brought out during this conference, whilst others were made evident during earlier proceedings when I had occasion to confer with the various parties over the present and related disputes.

The following is a brief summary of events preceding the dismissals:—

(1) On the 23rd April, Trades and Labour Council representatives addressed workers at Forwood Down W.A. Prop. Ltd. on the basic wage question and, according to union witnesses, advised the meeting to set up a workshop committee for the purpose of furthering the basic wage campaign within the workshops.

[15 July, 1964.

(2) Following a request. Foreman Geddes sent a memo to the Managing Director on the 27th April advising that the workshop committee wanted a meeting with management to discuss the basic wage issue.

(3) Under date 28th April, Mr. Anders sent a memo to each member of the committee advising that the employer considered there was no purpose in discussing the basic wage.

(4) A letter was forwarded to the management on the 30th April over the signature of R. J. Giles, as secretary of the workshop committee, advising that the afore- mentioned meeting (item 1) had carried the following resolution:—

(a) The meeting pledges the full support of the Trades and Labour Council in its campaign for an increase of £2 12s. in the basic wage.

(b) That a joint union committee be set up in this shop for the purpose of approaching the management to demand payment of the £2 12s.

(5) On the 6th May, the management advised Mr. Giles, in writing, that they were not prepared to accede to the demands and that the basic wage was a matter for the Industrial Commission.

(6) On the 30th and 31st May and on the 1st June there was a general refusal to work overtime and on the 3rd June there was a one hour twenty minutes stoppage over the same issue. This was referred to by union witnesses as merely an extended lunch hour meeting.

(7) Representatives of the workshops committee informed the assistant works manager on the 10th June that they demanded an answer to a new claim for a £2 increase by 10 a.m. the following day.

(8) At 9.55 a.m. on the 11th June the Manag- ing Director caused a reply to be posted on the notice board advising all employees that the claim was refused. This was followed by a general stoppage at 10.30 a.m. until 11.10 a.m.

(9) I was advised on the 12th June of the foregoing developments and on the same day called a conference which was attended by representatives of the employers, the Trades and Labour Council, and Mr. C. A. Reeve, Secretary for Labour. At this conference, I pointed out the manner in which the basic wage campaign was ap- parently getting out of hand, and suggested that steps should be taken by the Trades and Labour Council to ensure that the campaign, as conducted at Forwood Down's, should be stopped. I further indicated that if this campaign was allowed to continue in its then form it could only lead to serious consequences and that the Commission would not be prepared to proceed with the basic wage inquiry in an atmosphere of intimidation and disruption of industry.

(10) On the 16th June there was a further stoppage at 10.30 a.m. until 11.10 a.m., after which Mr. Hughes advised the management that, among other things, they required the employer to agree to the wage claim. This was followed by a go-slow policy (referred to by union witnesses as

Western Australian industrial gazette.

15 July, 1964.] WESTERN 363

a "work to regulation rule") on the 17th June, and again on the 18th June when the four workers were dismissed. On the afternoon of the 18th it developed into a "sit in" strike, and with the exception of one morning, either a go-slow policy or a complete stoppage has applied since that date.

(11) A further conference with all parties concerned was held on the 18th June and, in exploring all avenues for a speedy settlement of the matter, I suggested that the employer give consideration to reinstating the workers, and that the workers' representatives give an assurance that work would resume and continue on a proper basis. Neither party accepted this recommendation. The representatives of the workers wanted to tie up any question of a resumption of work with other matters, such as the right of the workers to meet management whenever required for the purpose of discussing wage increases. The employers stated that their action to dismiss had only been taken after a series of stoppages, and a final indication of contempt and refusal to work by the four workers, when specifically requested to resume duties, and under these circumstances they were not prepared to reinstate.

During the period reviewed in the aforesaid manner, there were a number of occasions when management had met shop delegates for the purpose of discussing general domestic problems. Al- though there was an attempt during these proceedings to suggest that management was hostile to meeting union delegates, this allegation was completely dispelled by the union witnesses. Mr. Hughes stated quite clearly that management had never refused to discuss general problems with shop stewards, but had only refused to further discuss the basic wage question. Other union witnesses confirmed this attitude. Mr. Mutton, in referring to a difficulty which involved a shop steward some time previous to these developments, made it quite definite that, as far as union relationships with the management were concerned, he had no complaint.

Throughout the period of these disputes a "News Letter" published by the Amalgamated Engineer- ing Union over the signatures of J. H. Mutton, W. Stewart, J. McMullen and J. Marks was in circu- lation. The following are a few excerpts from this publication:—

In W.A. we will have to convince the Arbi- tration Commission (as appointed by the Court Brand Gov.) of the justice of our claim for £2 12s. when our case is presented in June.

In Sydney and Melbourne where the case was heard, the Court was constantly full of unionists and on a number of occasions mass meetings of shop stewards and job delegates, financed by voluntary shop collections, forcibly demonstrated at the Courts.

The Metal Trades Federation (W.A.) has unanimously called on each shop to finance its stewards for a mass rally the day the case starts here. The Trades and Labour Council has also recommended this course of action.

The Trades and Labour Council is conduct- ing widespread lunch hour meetings where all shops are asked to serve the £2 12s. demand on their own employer. Secretary J. Coleman

(4)—85014

of the T. & L. Council reports that in Vic- toria such demands, backed by extended lunch hour meetings, etc., have seen a number of employers pay up the £2 12s.

From our long experience with the boss, we know that anything he wants is not in the workers' best interest.

(Note.—The underlining is my own.) At previous conferences, all of the unions in-

volved, and the Trades and Labour Council, denied knowledge of any direct action at Forwood Down insofar as such action could be related to the basic wage campaign. It is evident, however, that the workshop committee was created at the instiga- tion of the Trades and Labour Council to further the basic wage campaign at the workshop level, and it is also evident that the workshop committee conducted its activities in accordance with the foregoing "News Letter" by ensuring that its demands were "backed by extended lunch-hour meetings, etc."

If, notwithstanding the "News Letter", one can accept the proposition that the actions taken by this workshop committee were not with the approval of the Trades and Labour Council or the unions concerned, then one finds it extremely difficult to understand why they should now cham- pion the cause of persons whose actions were completely foreign to all accepted principles relating to the functions of responsible trade unions in that—

(1) the actions involved at Forwood Down were in complete contradiction to the declared policy of the A.C.T.U. which, through recent public statements, has made it quite clear that so-called shop committees cannot usurp the functions of their unions and by independent action involve workers in industrial disputes of this nature; and

(2) such actions were in contempt of principles relating to shop committees laid down by Mr. Justice Nevile, which have been known to all unions through various decisions, the latest reported in 43 W.A.I.G. 701.

If shop committees can operate in this irrespons- ible manner and then find support from the Trades and Labour Council, it can only result in encouragement to shop committees to take over the general functions of unions, safe in the knowledge that when their actions result in personal difficulties the Trades and Labour Council will come to their rescue. I cannot see anything more conducive to the breakdown of the proper role of trade unions if minorities are to be encouraged in such manner to both formulate and give effect to policy independent of their own industrial organisations.

It has been suggested that the actions of these four men were in no way different to the balance of the workers and that, therefore, in selecting these individuals for dismissal they had in fact been victimised.

I can see no justification whatever for this proposition. The only matter that one can consider is whether the employer was in any way unreasonable in his actions. The evidence clearly establishes that the employer did not unjustifiably exercise his normal rights to terminate the contract of employment of the workers concerned. In fact, Mr. Giles made it quite clear that not only was he not surprised in getting the sack but he did in fact expect this to happen. This attitude of Giles,


and the other workers concerned, was obviously with the purpose of giving a lead and encouraging the other workers to take a similar stand.

The actions of this workshop committee were certainly, in my opinion, a contributing factor to the developments which led to the dismissals. In giving evidence on behalf of the unions, Brandis stated that this committee decided when there would be a stoppage and the balance of the workers then merely fell into line. Because of these general activities extending over this period, a feeling was then developed that workers could take things into their own hands and decide when and how to work. The works manager, Mr. Jarvis, dismissed Mr. Gill; Foreman Geddes dismissed Hughes and Brandis, and Foreman Howard dismissed Giles. Although two of the dismissed workers were associated with the workshop committee, the evidence clearly shows that the dismissals were brought about by the workers' own actions in refusing to apply themselves to their work in a reasonable manner. The only course available to the employer under these circumstances was to dismiss, unless he was prepared to give away completely any control over his own business.

If one were to conclude that the employer should now be ordered to reinstate, then it would be virtually saying that employers in industry must lose their elementary rights of running their own business. It is impossible for industry to function on the basis that workers have the sole right to determine how and when work will be performed.

This is not a case of victimisation of any worker, and any attempt to suggest that it is, can only be made by a complete distortion of the facts. It is to be hoped that responsible unions and workers generally will not be misled on the real issues and become involved in a matter which has no basic justification other than the furthering of an ideology which advances the proposition that advantage must be taken of any situation to disrupt industry and undermine employee-employer relationships. I can see no purpose, on the merits involved, in referring this matter to the Commission in Court Session and consequently it is unnecessary to deal with any aspects of jurisdiction.

[The workers resumed work on the 1st July. The four dismissed men were not reinstated.]

Decisions of-

GRAIN HANDLING. (Albany Terminal.)

Award No. 34 of 1961. (Re Claim by Union for the Payment of Two

Shillings and Sixpence per Hour as a Grain Dust Allowance.)

In the matter of the Grain Handling (Albany Ter- minal) Award, No. 34 of 1961, and in the matter of a Board of Reference thereunder.

Before Mr. Commissioner Flanagan, Chairman; Mr. D. E. Buxton, representing the Australian Workers' Union; and Mr. R. J. Delmenico, representing Co-operative Bulk Handling Ltd.

Decision. 1. This is a claim by the Australian Workers'

Union for the payment of a grain dust allowance of two shillings and sixpence per hour on behalf

[15 July, 1964.

of all workers employed by Co-operative Bulk Handling Ltd., Albany, in the following sections:—

(1) Rail track shed. (2) Road track shed. (3) Undercell area (old silo). (4) Under annexe.

2. The claim is made under clause 21 (b) (iii) of Award No. 34 of 1961 which assigns to a Board of Reference the functions of—

adjudicating on any claim made for handling excessively dusty grain and fixing where considered necessary a penalty rate for such work.

3. An inspection of the areas on the installation site was made by the Board on the 11th June, 1964. Evidence was adduced that the grain handled over the previous five or six weeks had created excessively dusty conditions to a greater degree than was normally encountered. This was attributed to the widspread outbreak of rust and the dry seasonal conditions experienced which had contributed to an estimated twenty per cent, of undergrade wheat being handled by the workers concerned.

4. For the company, it was contended that the rate claimed was excessive but it was conceded that an unusual dust nuisance had existed since about the middle of April, 1964. The Board was informed that the company would be giving consideration to introducing remedial measures in an endeavour to reduce the incidence of dust and, if such measures were practicable and successful, the company considered that any dust allowance prescribed by the Board should be reduced or withdrawn commensurate with the efficiency of such remedial measures.

5. Having inspected the work, considered the submissions and evidence of the parties and being satisfied that the conditions extending over the period under review were of a nature as would warrant the payment of a penalty rate for the handling of excessively dusty grain the Board de- termines, by a unanimous decision, that a rate of one shilling per hour be paid to those workers concerned in the sections specified in paragraph 1 as from and including the 16th April, 1964.

GRAIN HANDLING, i North Fremantle.)


(Re Claim by Casual Workers for an Additional Rate for the Unloading and Discharging of Grain at Bulk Grain Installation at North Fremantle.)

In the matter of the Grain Handling Award, No. 6 of 1964, and in the matter of a Board of Reference thereunder.

Before Mr. Commissioner Flanagan, Chairman; Mr. D. E. Buxton, representing the Employees; and Mr. G. H. Jones, representing the Employers.

Decision. 1. In this matter a claim for an additional rate

of two shillings and sixpence per hour was made by the Australian Workers' Union on behalf of


casual workers employed on the unloading and discharging of grain into the back grid of the bulk grain installation at North Fremantle.

2. Mr. Barry, for the applicant union, contended that the dust nuisance created was of an excessive nature and, as such, the workers concerned were entitled to be compensated by the payment of the additional rate as claimed.

3. A determination of the dispute was sought under the provisions of clause 11 (2) of the award, which reads, inter alia:—

The Board of Reference is hereby assigned the function of determining any dispute between the parties . . . which shall include the determination of any dispute arising from a claim for an additional rate for handling excessively dusty grain.

4. In the evidence of Mr. Mclntyre, he stated that the present grid known as the back grid commenced operation on the 18th May, 1964, and the dust nuisance as at present experienced became evident with full production on Wednesday, the 20th May. He attributed the excessively dusty conditions to the following factors:

(1) No roof ventilation provided in the new building.

(2) A higher discharge rate with eight gangs employed as compared with two gangs previously employed.

(3) A different type of grid construction to that in previous use, resulting in a slower discharge rate causing in turn a swirling upwards movement of grain dust.

Mr. Mitchell, in supporting evidence, asserted that the present dust nuisance had been the worst he had experienced in approximately twenty years as an employee of the company. He went on to state that there had been more complaints from the workers involved since the operation of the back grid, than had been raised during all of the previous years.

In the confirmatory evidence of Mr. Jamieson, he informed the Board that on the 29th May, fourteen men had refused to continue on overtime on account of the excessively dusty conditions.

5. Mr. J. Ince, for the employer, submitted that the dust allowance of one shilling per hour prescribed by clause 27 (6) of the award had constant application notwithstanding that there were dust- free periods when trucks were not discharging and further, that under the method of gang operation, a worker was not exposed to the dust for one- third of his working time.

6. Mr. Standfield, the foreman, giving evidence on behalf of the company, conceded that the incidence of dust on the grid was greater with the employment of more gangs but contended that, as the dust nuisance varied in accordance with weather conditions, i.e., prevailing winds, and as the dust condition in the tunnel and annexe areas was constant and greater than on the present grid, the dust allowance of one shilling per hour prescribed was, in his view, adequate.

7. Having inspected the areas and after consideration of all the relevant matters by way of submissions and evidence, the Board concludes by majority decision (Mr. Buxton dissenting), that the conditions were of a degree that would warrant the payment of an additional sixpence per hour for work performed on the 29th and 30th May and on the 1st and 2nd June, 1964.

LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE DRIVERS. Award No. 10 of 1962.

(Application for the Fixation of a Minimum Charge for Privilege Tickets.)

In the matter of the Locomotive Engine Drivers' Award, No. 10 of 1962, and in the matter of a Board of Reference thereunder.

Before Mr. Commissioner Cort, Chairman; Mr. J. A. Northrop, Workers' Representative; and Mr. K. J. McGowan, Employers' Representative.

Decision. 1. This is an application by The Western Aus-

tralian Government Railways Commission for the Board of Reference to fix a minimum charge for a privilege ticket under subclause (5) of Clause 27— Free Passes, Privilege Tickets, etc., of the Locomo- tive Engine Drivers' Award, No. 10 of 1962, by increasing the present charges of one shilling and sixpence for adults and ninepence for children to two shillings and sixpence and one shilling and threepence, respectively.

2. This subclause contains similar wording to that in the relevant subclause in the Railway Employees' Award, in connection with which the same application was made to a Board of Refer- ence. Identical submissions were made on behalf of the Railways Commission in respect to both applications.

3. Mr. H. Kingston, for the union, indicated that in 1962 the union had agreed to a minimum charge of two shillings per adult, as had the Railway Officers' Union, but that unlike railway officers it opposed any further increase. He submitted that the minimum charge should not be based on fares generally payable by the public and that the comparison sought by the Railways Commission was not valid, particularly as it reduced the value of award concessions.

4. It is conceded that the minimum charge should be reviewed from time to time and, in my opinion, the general fare schedule and any alteration thereto is the best guide to this Board in fixing a minimum charge but such reviews should take place at fairly substantial intervals. It is ten years since the present charge was fixed and, because of increased fares since that time, I feel this Board should now determine the extent to which the charge should be increased.

The charge for a privilege ticket is one-half of the single fare for the return journey (with a minimum charge at present of one shilling and sixpence). In 1953, employees commenced to benefit from the concession on a five-mile journey but did not obtain the full benefit until a journey of at least twenty-six miles was undertaken. If these two mileages are taken on present day fares, the minimum charge would have to be between two shillings and fivepence and two shillings and twopence.

Whilst since 1953 the general increase in fares has been equivalent to sixty-two per cent., the claim made by the Railways Commission for an increase in the minimum charge from one shilling and sixpence to two shillings and sixpence is for an increase of sixty-six per cent. The journey fares referred to above also do not reflect the increase claimed.

5. Having determined that the alteration _ in fares generally should be used as a guide in fixing a new minimum charge, the increase in that


charge should not in any circumstances exceed the increase in the fare schedule, as to do so would reduce the value of the concession. There- fore, the claim for a two shillings and sixpence minimum is refused.

6. In fixing a new minimum charge, it is felt desirable to do so in multiples of sixpence, and that new charge is hereby fixed under subclause (5) of clause 27 of Award No. 10 of 1962 at two shillings per adult and one shilling per child.

In so doing, the amount by which this minimum charge is less than the fare assessed in paragraph 4 above should be taken into account when this charge is next reviewed, to the extent that any future Board considers the fare schedule as being relevant to the fixation of a minimum charge.

Mr. J. A. Northrop agrees with this decision, which becomes the majority decision of the Board.

The submissions of Mr. Harbord and Mr. Mutton, not dealt with in the decision issued today in respect to the Railway Employees' Award, have been taken into account in reaching this decision.

Award No. 3 of 1961. (Application for the Fixation of a Minimum Charge

for Privilege Tickets.) In the matter of the Railway Employees' Award,

No. 3 of 1961, and in the matter of a Board of Reference thereunder.

Before Mr. Commissioner Cort, Chairman; Mr. P. A. Wilson, Workers' Representative; and Mr. K. J. McGowan, Employer's Representative.

Decision. 1. This is an application by The Western Aus-

tralian Government Railways Commission for the Board of Reference to fix a minimum charge for a privilege ticket under subclause (12) of Clause 23—Free Passes, Privilege Tickets and Season Tickets of the Railway Employees' Award, No. 3 of 1961, as amended and consolidated.

That subclause reads as follows:— Privilege Tickets.—After six (6) months' con-

tinuous service, a worker shall be allowed privilege return tickets for himself, his wife and unmarried members of his family under eighteen (18) years of age, also unmarried daughters over eighteen (18) years of age, provided they are resident with and dependent upon the worker's earnings; the charge for privilege tickets to be half the single fare for the return journey, subject to a minimum charge to be determined by agreement between the parties and failing agreement, by the Board of Reference.

2. Mr. J. A. Lund, for the Railways Commis- sion, submitted that since the present minimum charge was agreed in 1953 at one shilling and sixpence for adults and ninepence for children the rail fares payable by the public had increased by twenty per cent, in 1959, twelve and a half per

cent, in 1960 and twenty per cent, in 1963 and that the minimum charge should therefore now be two shillings and sixpence per adult and one shilling and threepence per child.

It was submitted further that the present minimum charge was too low as compared to the cost of other tickets such as the season tickets also available to employees.

3. Mr. S. Harbord, for the employees, opposed the increase on the ground that marginal increases since 1953 had been relatively insignificant, particularly for lower paid workers, and therefore if any increased charge was made the marginal increases would be substantially lost. He stressed that the advantage to the worker of the privilege fares should not be lessened and that concessions generally should be considered by the Board as certain other ticket concessions to employees, when compared to fares paid by the general public, had lost value.

Mr. J. Mutton supported these submissions. 4. In determining the minimum charge for

privilege tickets, any alleged loss in the value of other concessions is not relevant and this Board must fix a minimum charge only for all workers and cannot fix various minimums depending upon the wages paid. If two separate charges were considered necessary, then the present average minimum would not only have to be decreased for the lesser paid workers but it would have to be increased for others before any new amounts were determined.

Mr. McGowan agrees with this portion of the decision.

5. The Railways Commission has also sought to increase the minimum charge for the purpose of the Locomotive Engine-drivers' Award and for the reasons expressed in that decision the minimum charge is determined at two shillings per adult and one shilling per child for the purpose of subclause (12) of clause 23 of Award No. 3 of 1961 but subject to the conditions contained in that decision.

Mr. P. Wilson agrees with this decision which becomes the majority decision of the Board.

(Re Claim for Payment of Confined Space Allow- ance for Cornersraitlis Employed on Modifica- tion to D.S.I-/. Wagons at the Midland Work- shops.)

In the matter of the Railway Employees' Award, No. 3 of 1961, and in the matter of a Board of Reference thereunder.

Before Mr. Commissioner J. R. Flanagan, Chair- man; Mr. C. A. Hollett, Workers' Repre- sentative; and Mr, H, C, Wilson, Employers' Representative,


Decision. 1. This is an application by the Amalgamated

Engineering Union on behalf of coppersmiths employed at the Midland Workshops for the payment of the confined space allowance prescribed in subclause 2 of Clause SI—Special Rates and Provisions for all time worked internally on the modifications to D.S.W. wagons. The subclause defines "confined space" as a working place the dimensions of which necessitate an employee working in an unusually stooped or otherwise cramped position, or where confinement within a limited space is productive of unusual discomfort.

2. Mr. J. H. Mutton, for the applicant, contended that workers engaged on this type of work had previously been paid the confined space allowance of sixpence per hour for six hours a day, but since the allowance had been increased to eightpence per hour in the Railway Employees' Award Consolidated 1964, issued on the 8th May, 1964, a commensurate reduction in the time allowed for the payment of the confined space allowance had been made by the employer.

3. Mr. J. Lund, for the employer, in opposing the claim, submitted that the matter in dispute should be determined on the facts as they relate to the definition of confined space and not on the basis of what may or may not have been paid previously. The employer would not agree that the workers concerned were entitled to the payment of the confined space allowance for all time worked internally by the coppersmiths on the D.S.W. wagons in that such workers would not be working consistently in an "unusually stooped or otherwise cramped position". However, the employer does agree that for time worked in the hopper area of the wagons, the payment of the allowance as prescribed is warranted. He stated that as the estimated time required to complete the task on the internal operations was six days, and this was confirmed by evidence, payment for three days or twenty-four hours would be a reasonable assessment.

4. The Board on the 3rd July, 1964, made an inspection of D.S.W. wagons, one that was nearing completion and one that was framed prior to plat- ing. Various aspects of the working positions involved were demonstrated by the workers concerned. The attention of the Board was drawn to the cramped position of the operators when welding the end plates which, when placed, were angled at approximately 45 degrees to the horizontal plane.

5. The Board, after considering the submissions and evidence of the parties, together with im- pressions formed from the inspection, decided unanimously to assess the allowance for confined space to be paid to coppersmiths at twenty-eight hours in respect of each D.S.W. wagon requiring modification.

Dated this 6th day of July, 1964.

COMMONWEALTH BUREAU OE CENSUS AND STATISTICS, CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX

March Quarter, 1964

1. Variations in retail prices as measured by the Consumer Price Index for the six State capital cities of Australia are shown herein.

2. The Consumer Price Index consists of a series of short term retail price indexes linked to form one series with reference base year 1952-53 = 100-0. Up to December Quarter, 1963, there had been four such short term indexes. For March Quarter, 1964, the fifth of these short term indexes is introduced. The process of linking ensures that the series reflects only price variations and not differences in cost of the old and new combinations and lists of items. The introduction of new items and weights by linking does not, of itself, raise or lower the level of the index. Details of the link are set out in the Appendix attached to this bulletin.

3. Compared with the previous quarter, the All Groups Consumer Price Index for March Quarter, 1964, increased by 0-6 per cent, for the weighted average of the six capital cities. Changes in individual cities were : Sydney +0-6 per cent., Melbourne + 0-6 per cent., Brisbane +0-8 per cent., Adelaide +0-7 per cent., Perth +0-9 per cent., Hobart +0-6 per cent.

4. Recent quarterly changes in the All Groups index have been as follows :—

6. A full description of the Consumer Price Index is contained in Labour Report No. 49, 1961.


7. The Consumer Price Index measures quarterly variations in prices of commodities and services as affecting a high proportion of the expenditure of wage-earner households in the aggregate. Changes in the pattern of this expenditure since 1950 have been such as to render it necessary to construct the index with additional items and changes in weighting patterns at intervals (rather than on the basis of a list of items and set of weights which remained unchanged throughout the period). Five series for short periods, viz. ; September Quarter, 1948 to June Quarter, 1952 ; June Quarter, 1952 to June Quarter, 1956 ; June Quarter, 1956 to March Quarter, 1960 ; March Quarter, 1960 to December Quarter, 1963 ; and from December Quarter, 1963 have therefore been constructed and linked to form a continuous retail price index series published herein as the Consumer Price Index. At times of linking the weighting pattern was altered and, in addition, new items (mainly ones that had become significant in household expenditure) were introduced. In each period between links the items and weighting have remained unchanged.

8. The indexes measure price movements in each city individually. They do not provide a comparison of the retail price level in any city with the retail price level of any other city.

9. Table 1 of this Bulletin shows Consumer Price Index numbers for each fiscal year from the 1948-49 to 1962-63 and for each quarter from December Quarter, 1960. Table 2 shows Group Index numbers quarterly from December Quarter, 1962 to March Quarter, 1964.

10. The following table is provided to assist interpretation of movements shown by the Consumer Price Index from Decem- ber Quarter, 1963 to March Quarter, 1964.

Clothing and Drapery Group— The index for the weighted average of the six capital cities showed a quarterly increase of 0 • 1 per cent.

Housing Group— The rents of privately owned houses increased in all capital cities. The index for the weighted average of the six

capital cities showed a quarterly increase of 0-6 per cent. Household Supplies and Equipment Group—

The index for the weighted average of the six capital cities showed a quarterly increase of 0 ■ 3 per cent. Miscellaneous Group—

The price of public telephone calls increased in all capital cities. In Perth the prices of beer and third party insurance were increased.

The index for the weighted average of the six capital cities showed a quarterly increase of 0 • 5 per cent. This document is published by the Commonwealth Statistician and contains statistics or abstracts thereof compiled and

APPENDIX

1. The Consumer Price Index is a chain of " fixed weight aggregative " indexes, links having previously been effected at June Quarter, 1952, June Quarter, 1956, and March Quarter, 1960. A further link in the series has now been made as at December Quarter, 1963. Price change between December Quarter, 1963 and March Quarter, 1964, has thus been measured on the basis of the changed list of items and weights. The weighting of this fifth linked index has been derived from recently completed analyses of data from the Population Census of 1961, the Census of Retail Establishments of 1961-62 and recent statistics and estimates of production, consumption, etc.

2. During each period between links the items and weighting remain unchanged. At times of linking the weighting pattern is brought up-to-date and the list of items is reviewed. Under this method, in effect, average percentage price movements are assessed on one pattern up to the time of the link and on another pattern thereafter. The process of linking ensux-es that the series reflects only price variations and not differences in cost of the old and new combinations and lists of items. The introduction of new items and weights by linking does not, of itself, raise or lower the level of the index.

3. Table A attached shows, in sectional detail, the composition and weighting of the Consumer Price Index as from Decem- ber Quax-ter, 1963. The weights shown are those comprised in the index for the six State Capital cities combined. They indicate the relative influence given to the various components in measuring the degree of price change in the index from December Quarter, 1963 (i.e., from the beginning of the new linked series).

4. Changes from the previous (fourth) linked series are :— (a) Weights of all items have been reviewed and, in general, are now based on the pattern of consumption of the years

1957-58 to 1961-62. (b) The weights for fuel and light, fares and motoring are based on the pattern of consumption in 1961-62. (c) Por housing the weights take account of data dexived from the Population Census of 1961. (d) Eurniture, frozen vegetables, packet soups, additional processed meat items, and Sunday newspapers and weekly

magazines have been added to the list of items. Rentals of six-roomed privately owned houses are now included. Some other new items of less significance have been included and a few items of minor significance have been deleted.

5. The overall effect of these changes on the composition and weighting is illustrated in Table B attached. Corresponding changes at the preceding three points of linking are also shown. The table shows group and sub-group weighting patterns in the index at the beginning of each linked peilod together with their proportionate contribution at the end of each of the first four linked periods. The differences between the proportions at the beginning and end of each linked period reflect disparate price movements over that period. The differences in propoi'tion between the end of one period and the beginning of the next reflect changes in composition or weighting.

6. For more detailed treatment of the nature, etc., of the Consumer Price Index see Chapter One of Labour Report No. 49, 1961.

5. A full description of the Consumer Price Index is contained in Labour Report No. 49, 1961.

6. The Consumer Price Index measures quarterly variations in prices of commodities and services as affecting a high proportion of the expenditure of wage-earner households in the aggregate. Changes in the pattern of this expenditure since 1950 have been such as to render it necessary to construct the index with additional items and changes in weighting patterns at intervals (rather than on the basis of a list of items and set of weights which remained unchanged throughout the period). Five series for short periods, viz., September Quarter, 1948 to June Quarter, 1952 ; June Quarter, 1952 to June Quarter, 1956 ; June Quarter, 1956 to March Quarter, 1960 ; March Quarter, 1960 to December Quarter, 1963 ; and from December Quarter, 1963 have therefore been constructed and linked to form a continuous retail price index series published herein as the Consumer Price Index. At times of linking the weighting pattern was altered and, in addition, new items (mainly ones that had become significant in household expenditure) were introduced. In each period between links the items and weighting have remained unchanged.


7. The indexes measm*e price movements in each city individually. They do not provide a comparison of the retail price level in any city -with the retail price level of any other city.

8. Table 1 of this Bulletin shows Consumer Price Index numbers for each fiscal year from 1948-49 to 1963-64 and for each quarter from March Quarter, 1961. Table 2 shows Group Index numbers quarterly from March Quarter, 1963 to June Quarter, 1964.

9. The following table is provided to assist interpretation of movements shown by the Consumer Price Index from March Quarter, 1964 to June Quarter, 1964.

For each city, the total change in index points since the preceding quarter is the arithmetical difference between the All Groups Index numbers for the last two quarters shown in Table 1, (e.g. Sydney : March Quarter, 1964, 124-6 ; June Quarter, 1964. 125-8 ; difference of +T2 index points). The dissection in this table shows the approximate amount each group has contributed to this total movement.

10. A summary of the movements of the various group indexes, together with the main quarterly price changes which affected the index between March Quarter, 1964 and June Quarter, 1964 is shown below :—

Food Group Increases in the prices of meat and potatoes were responsible for virtually all the movement in the Food

Group and for slightly more than half of the increase in the All Groups index for the weighted average of the six capital cities.

Prices of eggs increased in five capital cities, and the price of milk increased in Brisbane. The food group of the index (average of six capital cities) showed a quarterly increase of 2-0 percent.

Clothing and Drapery Group The index for the weighted average of the six capital cities showed a quarterly increase of 0-7 per cent, mainly

due to increases in prices of winter seasonal items.

Housing Group Local Government rates and charges increased in two cities, rents of privately owned houses increased in all

capital cities, and house price increased in four capital cities. The index for the weighted average of the six capital cities combined showed a quarterly increase of 1 • 1 per cent.

Household Supplies and Equipment Group The index for the weighted average of the six- capital cities showed a quarterly increase of 0-3 per cent.

Miscellaneous Group Prices of beer increased in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. For cigarettes, the index includes the effect

of price decreases which have occurred over recent quarters in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. The index for the weighted average of the six capital cities showed a quarterly increase of 0-2 per cent.
