ELBOURNE, February 5. ’I he lull Arbitration Court to-day dismissed the Commonwealth Government’s application lor the suspension for three months of the Court's ten per cent, wage cut, which takes effect from February Ist. In an unanimous judgment, the Court held it was impossible, however desirous it may lie, to help the Government, though it is faced with heavy responsibilities to do so, would nullify the Court’s opinion that whatever may he done to meet the present crisis, there was no escape from a reduction of at least ten per cent, in the wage standards. The Court emphasised that any delay in bringing into operation this necessary reduction in wages would aggravate unemployment.
