The Arbitration Court at Greymoutli on Saturday allowed the appeal of Tyson (Inspector of Awards) against the Magistrate's decision of Feb. 19th. dismissing a charge against local tobacconists of opening their shops on New Year’s Eve, in addition to the ordinary late night in the same week. The Magistrate held that the aliening was permitted by Clause 99 of the Award. .Justice Frazer on Saturday said nothing in the Award could cooperate in contradiction of the Shops and Offices Act. The Court had delegated legislative powers, but could not go contrary to an Act, any more than could a local body in contravention of tb<' Municipal Co-operations Act. In a further ease Tyson also applied for a ruling as to whether the Watersiders' I'nioii in refusing membership to a certain applicant against whom there was no strong evidence of bad character or insobriety, bad lost thereby his right to preference. The f'liieu Secretory. Kirk, staled two men left work on the wharf owing to the applicant’s behaviour. Several complaints were received from other watersiders respecting the applicants’ alleged bullying habits. The applicant was expelled rrniii the Union for arrears in subscriptions. which later were paid, and he applied for re-admission. The applicant had used abusive language towards Kirk. .fudge Frazer declared that within the strict legal definition ‘‘good chnracer” might cover the applicant's case, and bis reasonable sobriety was unquestioned. The question of the Union’s justification in refusing membership led to a broader interpretation of character, which included temperament etc. The Court could not hold that the I'nioii's action was frivolous and therefore the right to prefei cure was uii'aorificod.
