WAGES QUESTION.
A PREDICTED DROP. Dunedin, Feb. 17. In the Arbitration Court, Mr Justice Frazer this morning remarked that there was likely to be a fairdrop in wages in March. Later, his Honour remarked that it might be that a reduction in money and wages would come at the beginning of winter, and it was to be hoped this would bring about corresponding reduction in general prices. They were told it was wages which were keeping up the cost to the consumer, and that profiteering was gone. If so, it was hoped that-any drop in wages would be followed by a cost-of-living drop to balance it.
