DISMISSAL NOTICES
FOR BOOT OPERATIVES. (By Telegraph—Per Press Associationj CHRISTCHURCH, Dec. 20. Judgment was ,• given in the Arbitration Court on Saturday in the case brought on behalf of the Boot Operatives' Union. Owing to slackness of trade, the boot factories, instead of closing down for the usual ten days at Christmas, decided to close down for several weeks, and the employers served to the operatives notices of dismissal. The question for the Court was wnether such dismissals were in order, and whether the operatives were entitled to be paid wages for the time that the factories were closed. The Court .decided that, in the circumstances, the operatives were entitled to be paid such wages. It was not to be understood, said Mr Justice Fraser, that the award prohibited the definite dismissal and the subsequent re-engagement of an employee. What; was necessary to satisfy the Court of the completeness of 'the dismissal in any' particular case, could be decided, 1 if and when, the necessity arose.
