At n meeting of master butchers to consider tho recent amendment of the Shops and Offices Act, which fixes the hours of employees at 52 per week, while the ■Yrbitration award fixes them at 50, the following resolution was carried-.-That the master butchers.of Duncdin enter a protest against tho recent amendment to the Shops and Offices Act. We consider that the Government committed a gravo and most serious error in passing: the said legislation, the spirit ol which we consider most mischievous, inasmuch as it overrides awards of the Arbitration Court usurps tho authority of the Government's own Arbitration Act, is belittling to thoso administering it, and tends to disturb tho harmonious relations existing between employer end employee."
