BRICK WORKERS IN COURT
DISPUTE OVER FACTORY ACT Press Association DUNEDIN, Today. An unusual situation arose in the Arbitration Court yesterday during the hearing of an application for the interpretation of the Otago and Southland Brick. Tile and Pottery Makers’ Award. The case was concluded abruptly on the agreement of all parties to the j adoption of the novel course of securing a Court of Appeal judgment on the points which involved the jurisdiction I of the court. Mr. J. Robinson, for the union, submitted the memorandum attached by' Mr. Justice Blair to the Auckland ' award in which the ruling was contrary to that of the present court. It was, therefore, agreed that the Court of Appeal should be asked to decide two questions as follows: If the court has erroneously interpreted section 17, subsection 3 of the Factories Act, and are all awards made under such a misinterpretation violated, and does that section of the Act empower the court to extend the hours of work beyond 48 a week. The questions will be held up for some months as the Court of Appeal •ill not sit again before March.
