PER PREBS ASSOCIATION. Auckland, March 5. The Arbitration Court to-day gove its decision in the claim of the under workers in the ompeneation act ca?e in which John Joseph Dickson claimed £1 a week, from the Talisman Consolidated Gold Mining Compmy, for injuries received while working in respondent's mine as one of a party of contractors. Reviewing the judgments in various cases at some length the Court held that it was impossible for them to hold that the claimant was not an independent contractor, end within the decision of the Court iu " Smith v. Clark" for the reasons stated in that csehe, claimant, was not within tbe Act. If this class of workmen was to be brought within the Act, it must be by distinct legislative enactment, and tbe ststute did not, as it now stood, do this.
