THE KING'S BIRTHDAY.
OBSTINACY OF SOME TRADE UNIONISTS. ■ ;u Per Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At the Arbitration Court to-day, Mr. Ferguson, secretary of the Harbor Board, asked the Court to rule whether ths Board might observe the King's Birthday on Monday in lieu of Saturday. Mr. D. McLaren, of the Wharf Laborers' Union, and Mr. W. T. Young, of the Seamen's Union, said the men intended to abide by the award and observe the holiday on Saturday. Mr. Justice Sim suggested that the unions should agree to treat Monday as the holiday. If the unions could not see their way to fall in with this suggestion, and subsequently came before the Court citing for a
breach of the award on account of the workers not being paid holiday rates for Saturday's work, the Court might consider such an application under section 80 of the Act, which allowed for cases regarded as trivial to be dismissed, with costs against the parties bringing the action. ;
