PRIVATE HOTELS
COST OF LIVING ORDER. EXEMPTION REFUSED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Arbitration Court was not satisfied that the cases stated when private hotel owners applied for exemption from the general order to meet' the increased cost of living were truly indicative of the position of the industry as a whole, and the application is refused. The grounds were that the businesses had already suffered severely from the increased cost of living and decrease in patronage through the war and the rationing of petrol. The judgment of the Court mentions that the wages paid are lower than those in the licensed hotel industry.
