"OUR POLITICAL FRIENDS."

COMMENT.
WAGES REDUCTION ISSUE,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday.
At a sitting of the Arbitration Court to-day, Mr. H. C. Revell, a union secretary, remarked that the predictions of "our political friends" as to the effect of the 10 per cent cut in wages were not likely to'be realised'. -A Mr. Justice Fraser: Surely, you do not think that the Court is likely to be influenced 'by views and opinions of politicians. Such a thing is as unreasonable as a statement now being industriously circulated among unions that the Court was subjected to political influence in coming to a decision on the wages reduction issue. That statement is as absurd and fantastic as it is untrue.
