ARBITRATION AWARDS.
Delegates to the Sawmill and Tim-ber-yard Employees' Conference (says the "Press") were very definite in their statements that failure on the part of the Arbitration Court to make awards in disputes submitted to it had caused more discontent than any award it might have made would have done. As one speaker put it, an employer would not waste time on useless plant, or plant which he did not intend to use. If a man wasted his own time he was a fool; if he wasted his employer's time he "got the sack." But when they went to the Court for an award they got none; the Court wasted the time and the money of the employers and the employees, as well as its own time, and consequently the money of the country.
