SEAMSTRESSES’ AWARD
APPLICATION TO GIRLS' HOME (Special to THE SUN.) CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday. The question of whether the Mount Magdala Girls’ Home should be added to the shirt, white, and silk workers’ award was raised in the Arbitration Court on an application by the union. Mr. Justice Frazer said that there were difficulties in the application, such as these of apprenticeship and holidays. The Jubilee Institute for the Blind in Auckland had caused similar difficulties to those with which the union was faced in Christchurch, and an arrangement had been arrived at that the institution should sell to the public at a price to be arranged in consultation with other manufacturers. The question would be held over until the authorities of the home could be communicated with. He thought the safer way would be to make an arrangement that goods from the home would not be sold at less than a certain price.
