FUTURE NOT DECIDED
SECOND ARBITRATION COURT QUESTION OF REAPPOINTMENT [by telegraph —OWN correspondent] CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday No decision has yet been made by the Government on whether the Second Court of Arbitration will be reappointed for another term, according to the Minister of Labour, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, who arrived in Christchurch yesterday. " This means that as the position stands to-day, the Court will go out of existenco in November," said the Minister. "Tho Government will make t)ie final decision, but my personal feeling is that it will not bo necessary to reappoint tho Court." An industrial magistrate, Mr. J. A. Gilmour, was recently appointed, and Mr. Armstrong said that he had been able to relievo the Courts of a great deal of routine work. Mr. Gilmour was at present in Auckland, but would later travel to other parts of the country. " I think another industrial magistrate will be appointed," added the Minister. "Tho difficulty is to find another man with the outstanding knowledge of Arbitration Court procedure and decisions that is possessed by Mr. Gilmour."
