“Manners maketh man’’ is evidently an outworn adage, or at least will have to rank second to the dictum announced at a Christchurch sitting of the Conciliation Council to deal with the dispute in the bespoke tailoring trade by Mr F. R. Cooke, one of the union’s assessors, who declared: “We are the makers of men!” In arguing that higher wages should be paid (states the Press), Mr Cooke asserted that the tailors’ work was the highest of the arts, as it had as its aim the beautifying of the supreme created being—man. While some increases were granted as a result of much discussion, the rates ultimately decided upon were lower than those asked for by the union, so that, from the. union’s viewpoint, a proportion of the work being done by the tailors of Christchurch is, as far as remuneration is concerned, “art lor art’s sake.” Barraelough’s Magic Nervine cures toothache immediately: 1/6.—Advt. For children’s hacking cough, Woods’ Herat Peppermint Cure.—Advt.
