ARBITRATION COURT.
Per Press Association. Dunedin, February 19. . The Arbitration Court gave its award in the dispute between the Otago Coal Miners Union of Workers and the Cromwell and Bannockburn Company, Ltd. The award states “ The evidence satisfied us that the market for the employers’ coal is likely to be reduced in the near future and that decreased output will mean increased cost of production. In these circumstances the Court did not feel justified in altering the existing conditions, except in some small respects. For this reason shift wages have been maintained at 10s per shift, although it is clear that the standard rate in the neighbourhood is lls per shift.” Preference to Unionists is granted.
