CHART-MADE SUITS.

AN INTERESTING CASE. By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, April 6. A case of more than ordinary interest was dealt with by the Abritration Court on the subject of chartmade suite. Under the tailoresses' award, all garments for which orders are taken must be made in the shop or premises connected therewith, or at a workroom belonging to the employer. This is not part of the tailors or any other award, and it appears has been generally ignored. In the case of Sarah J. Hunt, an action removed from the Magistrate's Court, the defendant was charged with a breach of the award, in having executed an order at her shop at Newmarket and had it made up at a factory in Auckland. The defendant was formerly a tailoress, and now carries on a hosiery busi ness. Counsel-for the defence submitted that if it was held that a breach had been committed a large number of Auckland firms would have to close. Uniforms f r the police and volunteers were made from charts, and he Government was a most serious offender. Mr Justice Sims said the -penalties previously enforced were due to wrong representations. He decided that a breach had been committed though the court recognised that in practice the clause was not applied to chart orders. The case would be sent back to the Magistrate, together with the court's opinion that if he considered the evidence trivial, he would be justified in dismissing the case.
