THE ARBITRATION COURT.
There is a not inconsiderable section of the working class that hae lost confidence in the Arbitration Court, as at present constituted. As there appears to be a very general desire on the part of the employers and the workers to settle disputes, as they may arise, by arbitration, it would be in the interests of all concerned that the arbitration tribunal should be popularised. It might be well if, instead of having a Court composed of a Judge and a representative of either side, all disputes were submitted to- a tribunal consisting of two or three practical men representative of the trade in, which the dispute has arisen, with the Magistrate of the district as chairman. The finding of this Court should be final, and an award should follow. The system of Dominion awards by the Arbitration Court is unfair and unsatisfactory. We -trust that, if there is time this session, Parliament'will be given an opportunity of expressing itself upon the composition and functions of the arbitration tribunal.
