Warren), speaking oc •the movement lor a separate industrial district for Hawke's Bay, said that, without a doubt, they had bce.ii treated with scant courtesy by the Minister for Labour. There were very good reasons for t : ho movement, but, owing to ] influence brought to bear by the Labour leaders in Wellington and- Auckland, Mr. Millar had declined to consider the question- at all. He dismissed the matter right off. Under the new Arbitration Act much ..more red tape and morodelay took place in getting a settlement of disputes than previously. He admitted that a good many agreements were mado through the Conciliation Council, but.they were for the sake of peace and quietness., The employers, suffered and made these agreements at their own cost, and the consequence waa that every day there were ..fewer appeals to the Court, with the ultimate-re-sult that the Administration, would discover that the Court had not enough.to. do. and the day that the employers lose the Ccurt they have lost everything— their sheet anchor.. The appeal to tht Court -is their only hope.
