'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. Currie, for a breach of the tailors' award, which provides that illl bespoke work shall be done in the shop of the employer, were filled £5 each, upon the citation by the Inspector of Award:!, and £1 eaeh, with £2 2s costs in cases brought by the union. 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. Some of thorn evidently had an impression that they would be much better suited if they exercised their own discretion bv lookin.; up men known, to them, and it was news when Mr. Brown, the employers' representative on the bench, remarked, -you are not bound to take men whose names are on the book if they don't suit you, but look at the book frst."
