THE ARBITRATION ACT.
Opinions among the. labouring'classes appear to differ very materially concerning the value of the Arbitration Act. At a recent labour meeting in Master ton a miners' representative alleged that the Act was as dead as Julius Caesar, and he appeared rather anxious that it should not be. resurrected. The President of the General Labourers' Union, which is at present holding a conference in Wellington, tells a different tale. In his opening address lie said, "There "seems to be a good deal of dissatisfaction about how the Arbitration "Act is administered, but as far as
I "our Union is- concerned it lias been, "a great advantage to us in pre- | "venting a serious fall in wages during the winter of 1909. "
