The Union nsk?d for a Saturday afternoon half-holiday. and that all work then (lone be paid at Overtime rates. Judge Sim said the court did not compel men to work if tlicy did not want to. The constqnt attempt to reduce the bonis of labor -,vas simply absurd. The next application would be for no work at all on Saturdays. If either side wanted an alteration of the award it would have to show a good cause. A combined demand for an alteration was contemptible. Mr. Collett, the workers' represent.!tive, aiid the case -should never have |E come before the court. His Honor; I quite agree with you. Decision was adjourned. > - CONOILTATIOX COUNCIL AT !"'_ PALMERSTON. Palmerstfln N\. Last Night.
