ARBITRATION COURT
[per press association.]
CiißisTcnußCir, May 9. An application for the enforcement of the award in connection with the plumbing trade had to be withdrawn from the Arbitration Court to-day, as the association had not gone through the formalities set forth in section 9S of the Amendment Act which provides for a special meeting to consider the question of reference and for subsequent ballot as well as for notices being posted to members. The Court to-day interpreted the apprentice clause in the furniture trade to mean that a term of apprenticeship shall be five years, but the award does not affect the arrangement entered into before the amendment was made. To-morrow the butcher's case will come on again. The Court lias proposed to adapt the Wellington award and employers have been called upon to show cause why they ob]ect to the conditions in Ohristchurch as different .from those in Wellington. Justice Cooper will not be able to finish all disputes here before leaving for Dunedin on Monday and some will be held over until his return.
