ARBITRATION WORK
THE SECOND COURT. EMPLOYERS' CRITICISM. " INCONSISTENT JUDGMENTS." (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRTSTCHURC'H, Thursday. Criticism of the Second Court of Arbitration on the grounds of departure from established practice, is a feature of the annual report of the Canterbury Employers' Association. The report, which was presented to members by the president. Mr. A. K. Kincaid, states that representations made by the Employers' Federation to the Government in opposition to the establishment of a Second Arbitration Court in such a small country as New Zealand have been justified. The Second Court was thrown into its work in the midst of the largest accumulation of industrial disputes which ever had to lie dealt with in New Zealand, and, during at least the first six months of its existence, this Court has, unfortunately, departed from established practice and the policy of previous courts in the case of many of the major industries of the country. It has shown a tendency recently to have a more clearly defined policy, based to some extent at least on the Court's policy of the past. However, repercussions of its departures from policy, and its somewhat inconsistent judgments are still with us, and will be for many years.
