ARBITRATION COURT.

THE AUCKLAND CASES. LABORERS' UNION FINED £60. BY CABLE—PRESS ABBOCj ATION—COPYRIGm AUCKLAND, May 16. The Arbitration Court fined the Builders' and Contractors' General Laborers' Industrial Union £60 and costs for instigating, inciting, and ordering a strike of members of the Union engaged in drainage works in Auckland City, which arose over an objection to sub-contract-ing. In the case against the AVaterside AVorkers' Industrial Union, arising out of a strike of unionists discharging cargo from the steamer Paparoa, Judge Sim said it was clear the Union secretary was aiding and abetting the men, but Collett's action was not expressly authorised by the union. Judgment' must be for the defendants.
