NEWSPAPER OPINION.
SYDNEY, Feb. 28. The Herald, discussing Judge Higgins’ decision, said no doubt it was true that there was no common law enabling an employer to tell an employee what to wear, but a badge addition to a uniform amounts to the same thing as- going to work without a coat. The Telegraph states that- while an employee would be wise to be chary about rushing to conclusions on Judge Higgins’ dictum about clothes, the obvious fact is that it is not a watch chain ornament that is objected to, but what that particular ominous ornament stood for. Referring to the statement as to unionists in the more recent form of amalgamated unionism, the Telegraph states that unfortunately in most cases they are spoiling for a fight with both non-unionists and the community, and that the Brisbane badge symbolised that form bad been amply proved by events.
