TYPOGRAPHICAL DISPUTE.
QUESTION OF PROFIT-SHARING "RIDICULOUS." (Post Correspondent.) NAPIER, June 20. At the Arbitration Court, to-day, a rather important point cropped up on the question of profit-sharing. In the typographical case the union representative) raised the question of whether a newspaper proprietor would not be compelled to produce his books to show the profits of the business, so as to base the wages on the profit-sharing principle. Mr Justice Sim said it was ridiculous to expect the court to take profits into consideration in fixing wages, for if that were done/ and in one district one employer lost money and another made large; profits, they would have to fix different wages for each, or perhaps they would be asked to average it, which would be unreasonable. The court would not consider profit-sharing at all. The union representative said such an opinion struck at the very base of the Act, and rendered it useless to them.
