ENGINEERS' DISPUTE
ARGUMENT OVER AWARD. Bi' Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Nov. 20. A dispute between tire marine engineers and the shore engineers was heard in the Arbitration Court. It arose from the opposition of the Amalgamated Engineering Union to the inclusion iu tlie new award of clauses relating to the employment of members of the Marine Engineers’ Institute. At tlie outset, Mr. Justice Frazer said he did not think the Court would ever seek to deprive a marine engineer of work on his own ship while the ship was out of commission. Mr. Sommerville, for the marine engineers, submitted on behalf of the Institute that the marine engineers were more competent to do work on board ships than were the shore engineers Mr. Justice Frazer thought the question should be dealt with from the point of view that some shore men were competent. Mr. Sommerville said it looked as though the shore engineers wanted to compel marine engineers working ashore to pay the protective fee of the union. He should not be compelled to belong to the union, which obtained no benefits for him. After argument the Court reserved its decision.
