ARBITRATION ACT.
Or. Findlay Speaks Out.
Wellington, July 15
Dr. Findlay was very outspoken in his address in the Legislative Council on the Arbitration Act. He declared that if the workers were not prepared to abide by the Act the Prime Minister and the Hon Millar were ready to let it go. He showed what Mr Millar had done in the past for the workers; and said that it was no wonder now that he was feeling a little resentment of what had taken place recently. He declared the workers were better off than in any other part of the world. If the workers were to have the Act they would have to recognise that there must be equality of obligation. If the restoration ol confidence in the Court meant a continuance of the increase in wages, etc,, then it could no more effectively digrace the Court than by trying to restore that confidence. It would be better to boldly say that the confidence is not a cofidence in the impartiality of the Judge of the Court, but a confidence in his partisanship. “ Perish the whole system rather than secure confidence at such a price,” declared Dr Findlay.
