ARBITRATION COURT
e The Arbitration Court has given its decision in Auckland in a case stated by the Stipendiary Magistrate (Mr. C. C. Kettle) for the opinion of the Court. Tlie question was whether the Auckland Seamen and Firemen's Union had a right to refuse Martin Capon to membership on the ground that ho had not received a clearanco from tho Australian Federated Seamen's Union. The Court- interpreted the Industrial Agreement in existence and decided that, in the wording of the preference clause, the only qualification necessary for admission to the union was that a man should be of good charaoter. As Capon was admittedly of good charaoter, ths union had no right to exclude him.
