A CAPABLE ADVOCATE.
The various employers' organisations who have causes to answer at the Arbitration Court have an able advocate in Mr W. Pryor, who is a real "Poo-bah" in industrial matters. He has just completed five weeks' extremely arduous touring with the Arbitration Court, before whom he has conducted the case for the em ployern in about a dozen different disputes. At Masterton his summing up of the evidence in various disputes was little short of marvellous, as he showed an incredible intimacy with the minutest details of trades of singularly varied natures. He discoursed as fluently in the Tailors' dispute on such questions as making garments in sundry ways as he did in the General Labourers' dispute, when he let the Court into the fine points of making asphalt and concrete. Mi Pryor has evidently exceptional powers of assimilation.
