Opinion in Auckland is generally unfavourable lo the proposal to set up a A\ orkors’ Compensation* Court.
Ihe President of the Employers’ Association said that the Government would simply he adding burdens on to the overloading revenue. AI r Phelan, Timber Workers’ .secretary, said the Court was quite unnecessary and would be prejudical to the workers. The present Judge of the Arbitration Court bad a full knowledge of the various trades, and such knowledge was absolutely essential.
