and Arbitration Act 1904, based on conciliation and arbitration power, which sought to introduce the rule of law in industrial relations in Australia and, besides other things, established the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, whose functions included the hearing and arbitration of industrial disputes, and to make awards. It also had judicial functions of interpreting and enforcing awards and hearing other criminal and civil cases relating to industrial relations law. The Act originally applied to industrial disputes "extending beyond the limits of any one State, including disputes in relation to employment upon State railways, or to employment in industries carried on by or under the control of the Commonwealth or a State or any public authority constituted under the Commonwealth or a State". Andrew Fisher amended the 1904 Act to provide greater authority for the court president and to allow Commonwealth employees' industrial unions to register. In disputes involving a company in a single state either a union or industrial organisation will rope them into a federal award by arguing that they are part of an industry in which a dispute extending beyond the limits of any one state exist. (This can be done by finding another company which did similar work and serving them with a log of claims concurrently or by virtue of a company's membership of a peak industry body.) Alternatively, if the company was not covered by a federal Award it would be covered by the various States' industrial relations systems, and disputes are conciliated or arbitrated by the state industrial relations commissions which would create an industry rule Award. Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission In 1956, the High Court in the Boilermakers' case held that the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, as a tribunal exercising the non-judicial power of arbitration, could not also exercise judicial power as a Chapter III Court. The court was abolished in 1956 and was replaced by two new bodies. The Commonwealth Industrial Court was created to exercise the court's judicial powers. In 1973, it was renamed the Australian Industrial Court, and in 1977 its functions were transferred to the new Federal Court of Australia. The Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission was also created in 1956 to carry out the non-judicial functions of the previous Court. In 1973, it was renamed the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, and replaced by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in 1988. The wage
