WAGES TO COME DOWN.
JUDGE'S PREDICTION.
COST-OF-LIVING QUESTION. [BY TKLEOEAFH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
DUNEDIN. Thursday.
At the Arbitration Court to-day Mr. Justice Frazer remarked that there was likely to be a fair drop in wages in March. Later His Honor remarked that it might be that the reduction in money wages would come at the beginning of the winter, and it was to be hoped that this would bring about a corresponding reduction in general prices. They were fold it was wages which were keeping up the cost to the consumer, atad that profiteering was gone. If so, it was hoped that any drop in wages would be followed by a cost-of-living drop to balance it.
