RATES OF WAGES
Judgment for Defendant Judgment was entered for the defendant, Henry Badley, in a reserved decision given by Mr J. Miller, S.M., in the Napier Magistrate 's Court this morning in the case of Mr E. A. Wood, Inspector of Factories, against the defendant, who, it was alleged, had paid three workers less than the rates of pay due to them. Facis in the case were admitted by Mr John Mason for the defendant, and the case proceeded on legal argument as , to whether the workers, who had not come under an award prior to the passing of the Finance Act, were entitled to the extra rates of pay. The object of the section of the Aet under 'which the claim was made, Mr Miller said, was the restoration of cuts in salary, and to grant the application asked would mean granting the workers pay they had never had.
