HIS MASTER’S VOICE.

JUDGE GRANTS INJUNCTION. A.W.U. PROCEEDED AGAINST. SYDNEY, July 7. Mr Justice Edmunds granted the Graziers’ Assn, an injunction restraining the Australian Workers’ Union from enforcing compliance with the rule presenting members signing the agreement. as th-? rule contravenes Mr Justice Powers's award. The assoeia'jon has also instituted proceedings against the union officials for penalties for breaches of the award in the direction of inciting members to strike. The matter will be brought before the Police Court on Wednesday ne?ct. The time to be allowed for conveying pigs through the Otira tunnel is to be only three hours ('very three weeks. When the Arbitration Court judge stated in Christchurch that the Court fixed wages with one eye on what an industry could pay, a workers’ representative suggested pointedly that if the sheep industry could not pay the present rates of wages it should be allowed to drop out. The squatters representatives said wage cuts would be far better than that. There is a proposal to appoint an apiary instructor for the West Coast, who will doubtless lie able to improve the honey industry, which is making steady progress in the Grey district and northwards.
