WORK AND WAGES.

WORKING OVERTIME. [Put Press Association.] NEW PLYMOUTH, March 24. To-day tho Inspector of Awards proceeded against George Goldsworthy for a breach of the painters' industrial agreement in working, overtime for Nippert Brothers who some weeks ago were penalised for allowing men to work overtime. A clause in the agreement provides that no man may make up lost time. The defendant admitted the breach, saying the clause was discussed at a Union meeting when a minority objected. He agreed to work overtime when asked. A nominal penalty was inflicted. The other workman was a non-unionist and cannot be prosecuted.
