ARBITRATION COURT
BUSY TIME AHEAD (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, 24th September. After a session occupying almost six weeks and involving the hearing of a number of compensation cases and many industrial disputes, the members of the Arbitration Court left Auckland to-night for Hamilton. During the sitting industrial disputes of a major character were heard at Auckland for the first time since 1932. At Hamilton the Court will hear workers’ compensation cases. From there it will go to Rotorua to take evidence, which is to be submitted in support of an application to amend the New Zealand passenger transport drivers’ award with reference to the 40-hour week. The Court is due at Wellington on Tuesday to hear the Dominion bakers’ and pastrycooks’ dispute. From Wellington the Court will go to Greymouth, being due there on 2nd October to begin its West Coast session. It will return to Wellington in time to begin on 19th October one of the most important cases it has to deal with, the basic wage hearing. Further fixtures will be made at Wellington.
Some of the decisions of the Auckland hearings have not yet been released, due to pressure of work on the Court. They will be published by the Court as opportunity occurs.
