BRICK KILN HOURS
AN INTERESTING SITUATION. (»'er Press Association.) DUNEDIN, This Day. The decision of the Appeal Court that tlm Arbitration Court would not exceed its jurisdiction in fixing the working hours for kiln-burners in brick and pottery workers at 12 hours daily, though the Factories Act provides for a maximum of 82 hongs, creates an interesting situation, in view of the fact that the local Brick and (Pottery Workers’ Union has made application for a. new award.
Mr Robinson (secretary to the union) states that the union will ask the Court to fix any hours, and if the Court will not refrain the union probably will withdraw the djspute and cancel registration under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act, placing itself under “the more humane jurisdiction” of the Factories Act.
