IF ARBITRATION GOES.
"BAD THING FOR, DOMINION." IBx Tclecraoli.-Press Association.) Christchurch, March i. At tho conclusion of the stonemasons' dispute before the Conciliation Council this morning, the Hon. J. Barr, M.L.C., one of the union's assessors, after thanking the Commissioner (Mr. J. R. Triggs) for his assistance in bringing about a, satisfactory settlement, said that a system, such as the one in force, was far better than tho prinoiplo of strikc-e. At a conciliation conference they could discuss matters freely and fully in perfect good spirit, and without bad feeling. He reiterated his statement that tho conciliation and arbitration principlo was far better than that of strikes.
Sir. H. Pearce, wjio appeared on behalf of the Builders' Association, said that ho felt suro that it would bo a very bad thing for tho Dominion when, the Arbitration Act wont out of existence. By it an unscrupulous employer was brought to heel every time.
The Commissioner said that tho fact that 80 per cent, of the disputes coming before the Conciliation Councils in tho Dominion hod reached an amicable agreement spoke for itself. That was the strongest argument ho could uso.
