A decision of importance, in that it was practical!)' an interpretation affecting all employers of labour, was . given by tbe Arbitration Court at Wellington recently. A bricklayer was charged with having employed a labourer to do bricklaying work. This, the union submitted, was a breach of the award, which stipulated that only bricklayers and apprentices should be employed. It was shown that the man had been paid the wages stipulated by the award. The Court held that the position taken up by the union was untenable. Any man working under any award could employ any person he liked so long as the wages provided in the award under which he was working were paid. A blacksmith could be employed as a butcher, a milkman as a baker, whether the men were competent or incompetent, provided the stipulated wages were paid.
