APPRENTICES IN CAMP
PROTEST AGAINST WAGE CONTINUATION EMPLOYERS IN COURT Press Association DUNEDIN, Friday. The payment of wages to apprentices during their time in military camps was discussed by the Arbitration Court today, when Mr. Cookson, on behalf of the employers, asked for an unqualified right to deduct the wages Mr. Cookson said that those employers who. responded to the Governmen’s appeal to take’the full quota of apprentices suffered most hardship. Whatever benefit might accrue from nulltary trnining was a State benefit and the full cost should be State borne, the Defence Department paid trainees 4s g day, and the employer was compe“fd to pay full wage in addition. . justice of the claim was shown m the fact that the Government departments deducted from their employees’ salaries the pay received by them from the Defence Department. Mr. Justice Frazer said the court would withhold its decision until similar cases had been heard elsewhere.
