An important point in connection with a prosi cution under the Industrial Comiiiiaiion and Arbitration Act cropped up in the' cour.su of a case for breach of an award, heard by thi' Arbitration Court on.Monday. Mr Justice Chapman, president, asked counsel lor the prosecution way the Inspector of Factories had not taken steps to proceed against the employe as well a?? the masters. Dr. Findlay pointul out that the Act, wh le it made tnose who were not members of unions liable, did not specially provide for individual unionists. The unions were apparently to be liable for their misdeeds. J lis Ilonoui' said that this appeared to be a deled in the Act, and ht thought a test case should -be brought to .settle the point. Tie also suggested Uiat it might be necessary to obtain a decision on the point whether the It.lids of the union wotiFd tie liable if a member commitU d a bleach ol an award. Dr. Findlay intimated that ho would communicate Il is Honour's suggestion to the Labour Department.
