ARBITRATION COURT.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, Saturday.
In the Arbitration Court to-day Bush and Sons, painters, were cited for having dismissed an assistant while keeping two non-unionists in their employment. The non-unionists had been engaged before the unionist, and the question was whether, on account of slackness of work, nonunionists who had been employed permanently should be dismissed instead of a unionist, who had been taken on on account of rush of work. The defence was that the award did not require the dismissal of nonunionists to iprovide work for unionists, also that the unionist workman applying for work was not competent. Evidence for and against his competency was given. The court took time to consider.
Thomas McNaught, saddler, of Eangiora, was charged with a breach of the court's award in employing men longer than the award hours without overtime. As there was some doubt as to whether defendant had been cited the judge took time to compare the papers.
