ARBITRATION COURT.
(PEESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
DUNEDIN, June 8.
Not much progress in one respect, was made by the Arbitration Court with the bootmakers' dispute, though what transpired will probably greatly shorten the proceedings. When the log of prices came up the president asked as to the points on which the parties were at, variance! Mr Frostick said he had gone through the tables some time ago, but could not off-hand say where they varied. The president said it was quite a plain matter, and ought to have been fought out before the parties came to Court. Later on his Honour said the Court had power to award costs, and that power he would not be slow to exercise if he found the time of the Court was being wasted. The parties should have met together and let the Court know wherein lay their differences. It was preposterous to put a bundle of matters before the Court and ask them to narrow down differences. The Court would adjourn till next day, with a strong intimation to both parties that they must in the meantime endeavour to understand the position and tell the Court what they desired.
