The Arbitration Court gave an inter* pretiation of the Waterside Workers Award in regard to the difference between shovelling and trimming in handling coal. It held that any place on a vessel where coal was stored, although. only temporarily-, for the steamer's use, is coal bunker, and all work done in tha ordinai^y poal bunker is properly treated as ti'imroing. In connection with tha work done on the occasion of the alleged breach by the Union Steam Ship Company the court held that the shovelling of coal from the 'tween deck into the lower hold was not trimming, bub work done in the lower hold arranging coal was trimming within the meaning of the award. The company had committed a breach cf the award in not paying three men the higher rate waget, and it was ordered to pay costs, no penalty being imposed, as the case was brought fo* interpretation.
