LATE LOCALS

Civil aviation has increased so rapidly in Britain that last year 80,000,000 miles were flown, as compared with 1,000,000 miles in 1919. A .special passenger train will leave Christchurch for Greymouth on Saturday next, at 6 a.nu, arriving at Greymouth at 11.53. On the 1 following Monday (the night of the second day’s racing) ta special train will leave Greymouth at 7:1 5 pun., arriving at Christchurch 1.31 a.m. A Special train will leave Christchurch for Greymouth on Friday at 8.10 a.m., due Greymouth at. 4.30 p.m. It will leave on the return trip on the followTuesday at 6.45 a.m., and will arrive at Christchurch at 2.49 p.m. Those who predicted industrial strife as the result of the amendments to the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act lias fortunately not been borne out by the event so far, com-' meints the "Domiffion.” Quite a number of conciliation councils have reached agreement in their respective industries. At two within the last few days satisfactory' conclusions have been capped with congratulatory felicitations on both sides. Thus far this new basis of industrial relationships has demonstrated more effectively than all the speeches in Parliament the value of getting employers and workers at the. same time for frank ex '•hangPiS of views. It is unquestionable that the old antagonisms which were kept a live by the judicial atmosphere of the* Arbitration Court must become mellowed by the more intimate intercourse between employers and employees permitted under the more informal and friendlier conditions of conciliation discussions. In course of time a real spirit of 00-operat’on .should be. developed, with benefit to both sides.
