[JJY TEMU3RAPH. —I'KKSS ASSOCIATION. [ PALMERSTON NORTH, Wednesday.
In tho faco of strong opposition by tho millers, tho Arbitration Court today settled the long standing dispute as to tho rate of payment for two new methods' of flax cutting. It fixod tho rate at 15s a ton for leaf cut by tho A shape method and 13s 2d a ton for leaf cut by tho cone method. The rate of pay was based on u test carried out at tho suggestion of the Court on lines mutually agreed upon. Tho millers' representative asserted that tho industry could not stand this rate, but the Court pointed out that tho present award had expired and if the rale was found excessive tho parties could get together and endeavour to arrive at a more satisfactory rate.
