STRONG COMMENT
MR. TREGEAR SHOWS HIS GOOD SENSE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Lust Night. Strong comment upon the president of the Arbitration Court (Mr. Justice Sim) was made to-night by Mr. W. T. Young, secretary of the Wellington branch of the Seamen's Union, at & presentation to Mr. E. Tregear. In briefly tracing the history of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, Mr. Young stated that until 1895 the workers still retained their right to strike if they did not accept the court's award, "but since that right has been taken away," continued Mr. Young, "the court has turned a somersault, ana it seems almost a sheer impossibility to-day to get anything from the Arbitration, Court but mere unmitigated insult from a gentleman occupying the highest position in that court, and who should exercise much more dignity than he has exercised during the past five or six months with regard to disputes coming before him." It was suggested during Mr. Tregear's speech later in the evening that he should comment upon the position, but he did not respond to this invitation.
