Arbitration Court.
PAHIATtrA; November 27. Before the Arbitration Court, Bailiie and Co. were charged with a breach of the Wellington typographical award by employing female compositors. The defendants claimed to be working under the Canterbury award, which allowed female; labour. They could not conceive it possible that the Court could make it a criminal offence for females, to work in one district and not in another. The Court imposed a fine of £5 arid costs. The Court stated that provision would have bee|n made for females if the application had been put in before the award was made.
