DEFINITION OF CLERK

APPEAL COURT CASE Application By Union Press Association —Copyright Wellington, June 30 When the third day of the Appeal Court hearing of the Clerical Workers’ Union dispute opened) this morning, Mr O’Leary continued the discussion of the crucial question, whether the Registrar of Industrial Unions had been justified in registering the defendant union. Cousel said this depended on a definition of the word industry in the Act. The occupation of clerk was l fittingly described 'Ey saying he was employed in the calling or employment of a clerk, just as a driver working for a butcher, carrier or baker would have his occupation correctly described as being employed in the calling or employment of a driver. The part of the section of the Act containing the words “any business, trade, manufacture or undertaking’’ contended) Mr O’Leary, may be regarded as specially applicable to industry from the employers point of view. That is, they describe the particular branch of industry in which the employer uses the labour of others. The case Is proceeding.
