ARBITRATION COURT.
POSITION OF PIE-MAKERS. Should pie-makers be parties to the bakers and pastrycooks' award was the question debated before the Arbitration Court yesterday afternoon, when J. R. Long, S. R. Evans and J. R. Nieper applied to be struck off the list of parties to the agreement. The applicants said their business was hampered by the lateness of the hour of starting work allowed under the pastrycooks' section of the award, which applied to them. They \yere also prevented from employing unskilled labour because such hands might not put the dough in the tins without being brought under the award rate of pay, £5 a week. The union in asking 'that G. Browne and A. George should be made parties to the award, opposed the applications for exemption. They were supported by the Master Bakers' Union, who contended that as their pie-making business was subject to the award conditions, their competitors, who specialised in piemaking, should not be exempted. The decision of the Court was reserved.
