BEHIND IN ITS PROGRAMME
THE ARBITRATION COUT QUESTION OF RELIEF TO BE CONSIDERED (By Telegraph—Press Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. . “It seems to me that quite a fair percentage of the cases referred to the Arbitration Court for decision comprises minor issues which could easily be settled outside the court,” said the Minister of Labour, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, referring to complaints about the delay in the settlement of the demands for new industrial conditions. “There would be less cause for complaint if the Court’s time was taken up by major issues such as wages and hours of work. Circumstances have combined to put the Arbitration Court behind with its work,” added the Minister, “and it still has a heavy programme ahead. However, I intend to go into the matter immediately after the holidays and see if there are in the existing, law some means whereby any relief' can be given to the Court in dealing with the numerous demands upon it.”
