COST OF LIVING BONUS.
PRIVATE HOTELS INCLUDED. (P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Arbitration Court was not t-atis-fied that the cases stated wlven private hotel owners applied for exemption from the general order to meet the increased cost of living were truly indicative of the position of the industry as a whole, and the application was refused.
The grounds were that the businesses had already suffered severely from the increased cost of living, a decrease in patronage through the war, and the rationing of petrol. The judgment of the Court mentions that the wages, paid were lower than those in the licensed hotel industry.
