REPEAL OF STRIKE REGULATION URGED
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. The repeal of the Strikes and Lockouts Emergency Regulations, empowering tribunals to settle industrial disputes, was urged by the secretary of the Employers’ Association Mr w. E. Anderson, addressing the tribunal which inquired into the strike at Victor Plasters Ltd. “These strike and lockout tribunals should be wiped out and the Arbitration Court should be the only wage-fixing machinery in 'the country,” he said. “Every time a tribunal is set up it gives birth to at least two other similar disputes. I look upon these stoppages in industry with a good deal of suspicion.” After argument on the wages claims no agreement was reached. The chairman' of the tribunal Mr A. B. Rigg, conciliation - commissioner, said he would have to issue the decision, probably on Monday.
