Arbitration Court.
(By Electric Telegraph— Copyright) (Per Presn Association). Received September 27, at 9.35 a.m.) SYDNEY, This day,
. The Arbitration Court has decided that persons leasing chairs in hairdressing saloons are not bona fide employees and that,-tis no relations of employer and employee existed,, those from' .vhom,the. chairs are leased'could allow worlrto be done on their premises on the weekly half-holiday. The President, in giving the decision, said the Court would be gravely departing from its duty if, for the purpose of upholding its previous award, it twisted the law so as to invade the common law rights of citizens. To do that would be infinitely more disastrous than the loss of an award, although it was the outcome of an agreement to which much time and thought had been given. Unionists are gravely concerned at the decision. Tne secretary of the Employers' Union declares it may mean the bursting up of the Union.
?Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, This 'day,-*
The Arbitration Court to-day expressed the opinion that all cases for breaches of awards should be lodged by the inspectors of the Labour Department and not as at present by the' officials of the Unions. -
