It’s about as stupid a thing as I've heard lor a long long time.” This strong comment was macle in the Arbitration Court, this morning, bv Judge Frazer, when the Inspector of Awards sought an interpretation of tlie Shop Assistants' award, as it related to pattern clerks in drapery departments. Justice Frazer said: “The question was whether sample work might be considered shop assistants’ work or ollice work, so the Court, has solemnly to decide whether a girl who chops up a few samples is to get. 50 per cent more than 52/6. Oh well, I had better not say 100 much,” concluded the Judge. “We will consider the question, and give a decision in -writing.”
