ARBITRATION COURT
WORKERS' REPRESENTATIVE.
. The ballot for the position of workers' representative on the Court of Arbitration closed at noon to-day, but no official announcement will be made as to the result immediately as the appointment is one which has to be made by His Excellency the Governor-Gen-eral on the advice of th? Minirter.
In the event of Mr. A. L. Monteith being appointed and his new duties taking him away from Wellington to such an extent that he will -be unable to attend to his duties as a city councillor, he may resign from the council, and in that case a full and formal election \to fill the vacancy will be necessary. When a vacancy occurs within three months of the date of the usual-biennial election of Mayor and councillors,,a formal election is not always necessary, but in such an initaice as this, with a full year of the council's life to run; there is no question of "the next man on the list at tho last elections." There is some talk in Labour circles that Mr. C. H. Chapman, who unsuccessfully contested the Mayoralty at the last municipal election, and who was formerly on the council, may be selected to contest the vacancy Which will be created if Mr. Monteith resigns.
