UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES
FIRM AND AWARD. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N., Nov. 15. Unique circumstances were revealed in an application before; the Arbitration Court when shearing contractors at Feilding sought to have Levin and Co., Ltd., added, as a party to the Wellington 'Shearers’ and Shed Hand's’ Award. The firm objected on the grounds that they were working under the Wool, Hides and Grain Produce Store Employees’ Award. The firm’s representative said that the men were employed as shed, hands, and were also called upon to do any other work required. Tire shearing board employees received more than the awaird rates, but the wool nressers did not receive shearing rates, as .they might onlv be engaged in that particular work for a few hours a day. This is a unique case, said his Honour, Mr .Justice Frazer. The award was framed to deal with ordinary shearing foams visiting farms, and) this seemed to lie ai case for special conditions. Decision was reserved.
