Press Association
Palmerston N., April 2,
The Arbitration Court opened here to-day. About 20 breaches of various awards are set down for hearing, also a .couple of compensation cases.
T. Sarvie, a laundry proprietor, was fined £lO and costs for breach of the Drivers’ award in employing a youth as a driver who had not attained the stipulated age. The Court held that the breach had been deliberate. The Court was engaged all the morning in an alleged breach of the flaxmillers’ award, George Craw being charged with deducting 15s per week from men for board and lodging, the maximum amount under the award being 14s. The defence was that the catering was the business and property of the cook at the mill who paid Craw £2 per week for use of the premises, further that the 15s was for board and lodgings, whereas the 14s under the award was for board only. Decision was reserved.
