ARBITRATION LAW.
Information was sought by members in the House of Eepresentatives last night, when the Labour Department's Estimates were under discussion, as to the result of the visit to Australia last year of the President of the Arbitration Court.
The Minister of Labour (the Hon. S. G. Smith) said that the Judge brought back to the Dominion valuable information as to the various systems and methods of industrial arbitration in operation in the Australian States which he visited. "As a result of the information gained," he said, "I am entitled to say that the Arbitration Court of New Zealand, and its operations and control place it in a far better position than any Arbitration Court in any State in the Commonwealth. The information brought back moro than justifies the expenditure. Expressing dissatisfaction with the Minister's reply, Mr. B. M'Keen (Labour, Wellington South) asked whether the visit to Australia was a joy trip. The previous Minister had told the Houso that Mr. Justice Frazer's report would be submitted to the House. Mr. Smith: "I know nothing about that promise."
Mr. W. E. Parry (Labour, Auckland Central): V\Yo are not going to be satisfied with an answer like thr.t. Surely the Department is responsible".
The matter was still being * discussed' whoa the House adjourned.
