THE ARBITRATION AND CONCILIATION ACT.
IPBESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND, April 19. The Premier, in replying to a large depo* tation from several Trades Unions, said that he intended to bring in an amended Conciliation Act, to give a, wider definition of an industrial dispute. The limit prescribed by Mr Justice Edwards" was not contemplated by the Legislature. With reference to breaches of awards, the Premier understood that the deputation wished the responsibility of enforcing awards to be cast upon inspectors or other Government officers. Ho believed that the awards should be upheld whether the employers or employed committed a breach thereof, and proceedings should be taken by the authorities, independent of th« employers' associations or unions. As to«the appointment of a Judge, the Government had taken the initial steps in respect to this matter, and 1 it was tTieir intention, as Mr Justice Edwards, who had done excellent work, had resigned his position, to recommend the appointment of Mr Justice Martin in liis place as Judge of the Arbitration Court.
