THRESHING FOR A NEIGHBOUR.
MR Di JONES, M.P., IN COURT
Among those farmers who were present in the Arbitration Court yesterday morning to oppose an application to have 67 parties added to the North Canterbury Threshing Mill Employees' Award, where the question of the ownership of American, or "tin" mills was concerned, was Mr David, Jones, M.P., chairman of the Meat Producers' Board, and representative of Mid-Can-terbury in Parliament.
When Mr Jones's case cam© up he eaid emphatically that be had indeed done threshing for a neighbour, but if this brought him under"* the scopfe of the award, then he would oease the practice. He would like to however, that'if he did this, it would mean a loss of sixpence a bushel to' that farmer, because be would have to 'titack his wheat, and wait until a | contract threshing mill came round.' .Mr Jones thought that it would be I wise if the Court held the matter of the. application over until full _evi- I dence could be brought by both ?idee. "Nevertheless," he concluded, "if it means not coming under the award, I''' not do anv ruore threshing outsulft in meantime."
