THE ARBITRATION ACT.
A DEPARTMENTAL REPLY,
In regard to the complaints fffade by the secretary of a Labour Union, and referred to in a sub-leader in the Age yesterday, the Masterton agent of the Labour Department states that every complaint received in his office in regard tof alleged" breaches of the Arbitration and other Acts is being investigated, and where breaches have been committed, prosecutions will follow. He assures us that thoiigh the head office in Wellington has had a large amount of extra work to perform, nothing is being neglected. The in&pectorsi of districts have no power to enter prosecutions until instructions aro received from Wellington to that effect. The Government has given no instructions whatever as to avoiding prosecutions or relaxing the law, and any seeming delay is not, in- reality, neglect.
