WARM RETORT TO JUDGE’S COMMENTS
MR. SPENCER REPLIES "The Judge's remarks were quite uncalled for and they are certainly not true or justified,” stated Mr. Albert Spencer, president of the Employers’ Association, this morning, in the course of a warm retort to Mr. Justice Frazer's reprimand in the Arbitration Court last Friday. When the Court was dealing with apprenticeship orders his Honour applied some mildly acid comments to Mr. Spencer over a statement of his on apprentices which was published in THE SUN the night the Court arrived in Auckland. “I was hauled over the coals for having the audacity to deliver what he supposed to be a diatribe against the Court before it opened its session. My comments were in answer to statementsof several union secretaries that they intended to apply for a reduction of the individual apprenticeship quota. I pointed out that my association was taking steps to counter them. “No doubt Mr. Justice Frazer has a wide knowledge of the subject of apprenticeship. He could use his powers to much greater advantage to benefit the whole country and in particular those boys who are anxious to learn a useful trade but who are debarred.
“Mr. Justice Frazer might have been more careful in reading my comments in the paper.”
