FREEZING COMPANIES
DISPUTE BEFORE THE COURT.
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
: AUCKLAND, This Day. Hopes that the dispute between the freezing companies and the. employees would be settled by the Arbitration Court were dispelled soon after the application set down for hearing was called on. Mr. Cookson appeared for the companies, but the employees were not represented. The application was by the New. Zealand Refrigerating Company that the general order of the Court reducing the bonus be varied, and that the workers under the Canterbury freezing works related trades award be bound by a special order reducing the bonus by 5 per cent, in the case of time workers and 2i percent, in the case of pieceworkers. This meant placing the reduction on a percentage basis instead of the *!-it rate basis adopted by the Court. It was agreed that an application by the Wellington Union for exclusion from the bonus reduction be heard in Wellington, and the hearing of the combined companies',- application . was gone •on with. After bearing the companies? side, Mr: Justice Frazer said the Court would endeavour to arrive at a. solution ,• if unable to do so, the general order must stand." ."''''■ '
