ARBITRATION AWARD VERSUS STATUTE.
By Telegeaph—Peess Association,
NAPIER, December 23,
A peculiar case of an award of the Arbitration Court overriding an Act was brought under notice to-day, when three local hairdressers were charged with breaches of the Shop Assistants Act in employing their assistant hairdressers longer hours' than 52 per week. It appears that in Wellington, where hairdressers work under an award of the Arbitration Court, the number of hours fixed is 55 per week; but in Napier there is no award for this trade, and the Magistrate held that hairdressers came under the provisions cf the Shop Assistants Act, in which the maximum' rtumber of hours is stated at 52 per week. A nominal "penalty of 5s without costs was imposed in each case.
