Mr Brown, a member of the Arbitration Court, takes exception to the published statement of an Auckland sawmiller that the Conciliation and Arbitration Act is not operating to the advantage of the mill-owners or the workmen. Mr Brown says the Court reduced the hours to 48 weekly in compliance with the Act, as every sawmill is a factory. He adds that he has been told by another Auckland sawmiller that the award is working first-rate, though at the out-set it was feared that it would prove very expensive to the employers.
