WAGE REDUCTION.
ARBITRATION COURT'S ORDER. NO POLITICAL INFLUENCE. Ber Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH. July 2. At a sitting of the Arbitration Court to-day, Air H. C. Revell, union secretary, remarked that the predictions of “our political friends” ns to the effect of the ten per cent, cut in wages were not likely, to be realised. Air Justice Frazer replied: “Surely you do not think that the court is likely to be influenced by the views and opinions of politicians. Such a thing is as unreasonable as the statement now being industriously circulated among unions that the court was subjected to political influence in coming to its decision on the wages reduction issue. That statement is as absurd and fantastic as it is untrue.”
