AWARD INTERPRETATIONS
A defect in procedure. The Arbitration Court yesterday had before it a case in which the Labour Department desired an niterprFtation of an award and proceeded against an employer. Mr. W. A. Grenfell (appearing for the employer) took exception to the fact that it had been found necessary to proceed against an employer in the Court, when all that was at issue was an interpretation on a point in the award. The mere fact that proceedinjjs were taken, said Mr. Grewfell, cast a stigma, especially when reported in the newspapers, and it was regrettable that it had not been done in another way. Inspector Mountjov (for the Labour Department) : I understand there is no other wav. Mr. Justice Frazer: We have been taking applications. There is no actual machinery, but we have been receiving applications for interpertation without prosecution. Mr. Mountjov has acted strictly in the proper method, but the Court, until proper machinery is devised, is receiving the applications. When we get more time steps will be taken to arrange a proper method of procedure in suet casts.
