'J he citation of l-'rith and Son, of Devonport, hairdressers, for breach of the hairdressers' assistants' award, arose out of the enterprise of a barber, who, while employed during the week in a saloon in the city, filled in the Saturday half-holiday by working for respondent at Devonport. This was in contravention of a special clause in the award prohibiting assistants in permanent employment of working on their holiday. A fine of £1 was imposed. J. W. Slia'crelfor 1 and K.

Several employers, who pleaded guilty and paid .1)5 in lines for neglecting to give prefcunce to unionists, had failed to examine the. employment book.
