ARBITRATION COURT

INTERPRETATION Cr AWARDS The following interpretations of awards have been made by the Arbitration Court: — CARPENTERS AND ,J‘BNERS. “Carpenters and joiners employed on repair or dismantling work on board ships moored at-the, Union Company s wharf adjacent to tbo works at Port Chalmers, or at any of the other wharves, are outside workers. A snip c-oukl be regarded as a factory only if it were filled up as a joinery shop and used as a permanent or scmi-pcrmancut addition to the shore factory.” CLOTHING TRADE.

“ A worker employed solely as a shirt cutler docs not come within tho definition of a stock clothing cutter. A worker, however, who is engaged in cutting fabric to pattern for garments that certainly must bo included as ‘ classes of clothing ’ is, therefore, a stock clothing cutter.” AP PRENTTCESHIP ORDERS.
