ARBITRATION COURT.
A POINT OF INTEREST. By Telegraph.—Press Associat'on. Auckland, December-7. A point of some interest cropped up at the Arbitration Court, when an application for the amendment of an award made on behalf of the Ohinemuri mining engine-drivers in' the direction of providing for war bonus of Id per hour above the present rate of pay. Mr. Justice Stringer pointed out that the Court had no jurisdiction, and where amendments had been .made in this direction a bonus had been agreed to by both .parties. If it were competent for a union to apply to the Court for an. increase in wages, which the war bonus really amounted to, the award would to all intents and purposes become worthless. No application of the kind could be granted, unless by agreement between both parties.
