PAYMENT OF APPRENTICES
The payment of wages to apprentices during the time spent in military camps was discussed in the Arbitration lOourt at Dunedin on Friday, when Mr. Cookson, on behalf of the employers, asked for unqualified right to deduct wages. Mr. (Cookson stated that those employers who responded to the Government's appeal to take the full quota of apprentices suffered the most hardships. Whatever benefit might accrue from military training was a State benefit, and the full cost shall be State-borne. The Defence Department paid trainees 4/- a day, and the employer was compelled to pay full wages, additional. The justice of the claim was shown in the fact that Government Departments deducted from their employees’ salaries the pay received by them from the Defence Department. Mr. Justice Frazer said that the Court would withhold its decision until similar cases were heard elsewhere.
