ARBITRATION COURT
10 PER CENT. CUT EXCLUSION
FIRST A PP LI CATION
(By Telegraph,—Per Press Association)
■AVEUJXGTOX, July 9
The first application by a Union for exclusion from the operation of the Court’s general order of the ten per cent, cut will be unsuccessful. The Union is the Canterbury Manure, Tallow, Acid 'Soap and Candle workers, which based its appeal on the special grounds of the casual and intermittent nature of the work and consequent low wages. Mr Frazer says that the casualness and intermittency of work are not necessarily special grounds, for a very large number of awards deal with trades and industries in which work is always casual and intermittent. He mentioned also it is notorious that farmers are finding it difficult to finance the purchase of manures, and it is essential that the price to farmers and consequently the price oi production should be kept down. Mr Montcith dissents from tlio judgment.
