HOURS OF SHOPPING.
ARGUMENT IN SUPREME COURT. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, May (i. Mention was made at the Arbitration Court to-day of the desire on the part of the Auckland employers to revert to 9 on the late shopping night instead of 8.30 in the award and close at 12.30 on Saturday. His Honour said that the court was absolutely unable to alter the award without the consent of both the parties. Mr Crosby, secretary of the Employees' Federation, said that the matter had been referred to the unions throughout the Dominion. They were well satisfied with the award as' it stands. He thought the unions would be ill-advised to agree to the proposed alteration, having achieved the curtailment of the late night after 12 years' fighting.
