PETONE WOOLLEN MILLS STRIKE.
THE UNION FINED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Yesterday. Reserved judgment was delivered in the Magistrate's ' Court to-day in the case of the Inspector of Awards versus the Petone Woollen Mills Industrial Union of Workers. Plaintiff claimed £2OO as a penalty for an offence under the Industrial, Coneiliition, and Arbitration Act, in that defendant, during February and March, instigated certain workers employed by the Wellington Woollen Company to become parties to an unlawful strike, the workers being bound by the award under the Arbitration Act. Tht Magistrate, Mr. W. G. Riddell, held that although notices were given to dose employment, a strike had been proved on the grounds of collusion between the workers to cease- work. The action of the men in lmving their employment in a body amounted to a strike within the meaning of the Act. Further, as a majority of the members of the defendant Union were parties to the strike, defendants must be deemed to have instigated it. Judgment was for plaintiff for £SO, and security for appeal was fixed.
