WATERSIDERS AND AWARDS.
ARBITRATION COURT COMMENT.
[BY TELEGRAPH. — PRESS ASSOCIATION*.] GiiETMorTH, Sunday. In deciding that the old Watersiders' Union award of 1913 is no longer" valid, and that the Union Steam Ship Company has not committed a breach of suck award by employing new unionists and entering into an agreement with them, the Arbitration Court judgment comments: "The old unions seem to regard the award much as the Germans regard the international treaty, as a 'mere scrap of paper,' binding on them if and only when it suited their own purposes, aim, just as the German view has been condemned by all civilised nations as absolutely destructive of international morality and good faith, so the Court thinks, if the unions' views of an award were to prevail, this would be absolutely destructive to industrial morality and good faith."
