WILL THEY BE PROSECUTED?
ARBITRATIONISTS WHO WENT ON STRIKE. (Pn Pbus Absocution.) WELLINGTON, April 2. The quosi ion as to whether tiie Labour Department is going to prosecute unions or unionists working under the Arbitration Court awards, who wen! out on strike in November, is being awaited with interest, says the Post. Not only are the offending unions interested, but employers and new unions which were formed to replace several of the Arbitration bodies, aro concerned. If the Department decides to proceed, the prosecution will comprise the biggest batch that has yet been launched in New Zealand at any one time, no less than eightoen arbitration unione with some 8000 or 9000 members being involved. If, on the other hand, the Department decides not to take action, the Post pointe out that the following issues will demand immediate solution : (1) What w the use of imposing penalties under the Arbitration Act when they are not enforced; and (2) what, is to be the fate of the new unione which were formed to replace the arbitration unions which went on strike?
