ARBITRATION COURT.

| , I [per press association, i I i YY'( llington, Dfc. 6. j In adding parties to the painters’ [ award to-day the Arbitration Court I appended the following memorari i dum :—YVherc an award is made in connection with a trade or industry the parries to the award should be 1 limited as far as possible to the cm- j plovers who are engaged in that par- j [ ticular trade or industry. The eni- [ j plovers named in this order are .not [ 1 carrying on business as master i I painters, they, there tore, should not: be added as ordinary parties to the : ' award. Tiny, howeve)*. are doing [ [woik from time to time that comes] w ; thin the scope of the award, and ] arc employing journey men painters. ! 'ln these eirenmstauees the proper j •;*-->urse te) adopt, in the opinion of I ' the court, is to add t.neni as parties] to the award so as to bind them to | pay th.owages fixed l.>y the award. I and also to pay for overtime and for [ work done on holidays according to ] the prcvis!i>:i of the award, but they | should not be bound by other provis- 1 ions of t hr* award which prima facia ‘. are applicable only to employers m [ ' Business as master paiaters. The ] court adopted the same course witli] regard to builders and other similar j employers whe n dealing with the ] < boilermakers' dispute in September] last. That and the present case are I to be treated as settling the practice [ of the court with regard to al! sin:’- [ !ar cases. ] — , K
