BRICK WORKERS' HOURS.
OTAGO DISPUTE ADJOURNED CASE FOR APPEAL COURT.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
DUNEDIN, Monday
The hearing of an application for an interpretation of the Otago and Southland Brick, Tile and Potterymakers' award in the Arbitration Court to-day ended abruptly on the agreement of all parties to the adoption of the novel course of securing a Court of Appeal judgment on points which involved the jurisdiction of the Court. ' Mr. J. Robinson, for the union, submitted the memorandum attached by Justice Blair to the Auckland award, in which the ruling was contrary to that of the present Coxirt. It was agreed that the Court of Appeal' should'be asked to decide two questions, as follows: —(1) If the Court has erroneously interpreted section 17, sub-section 3 of the Factories Act, are all awards made under such misinterpretation vitiated? (2) Does that section of the Act empower the Court to extend the hours of work beyond 48 a week ?
The Court of Appeal will not sit again before March.
