AN ARBITRATION COURT AWARD.
OBJECTION BY LABOUR COUNCIL.. (l'cr Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Feb. 4. The Trade and Labour Council to-night discussed a clause dealing with uitder-rale workers inserted in the award recently given by the Arbitration Court in tlie Nelson uarpenters' case, and the following i\> 1 solution was carried unanimously
"This council strongly protests against the illause dealing with urr-der-rato workers inspiled. ink the Nelson carpenters' award by the Arbitration Court recently, taking power to grant or refuse permits out of the hamds of the Union, tihus making it possible for any person to gain an entrance into a trade in this way, whether ho is a carpenter or not. We consider it discloses a deliberate .intention to flood tihut trade with incompetent men, and so lower the standard in efficiency, and in the long run to reduce wages. Moreover, the clauses are a serious infringement of the rights of unions, and a direct attempt to destroy their usefulness."
