THE ARBITRATION COURT.
FALL IN WAGES PREDICTED. By Telegraph—Press AssociationDunedin, Feb. 16. In the Arbitration Court, Mr. Justice Frazer this morning remarked that there was likely to be a fair drop of wages in March. Later His Honor remarked that it might be that the reduction in money wages would come at the beginning of the winter, and it was to be hoped this would bring about a corresponding re* duction pf general prices. They were told it was wages which were keeping up the cost to the consumer and that profiteering was gone. If so it was to be hoped that any drop in wages would be followed by a drop in the cost of living to balance it.
