CARPENTRY TRADE
QUESTIONS BEFORE COUFIT Several matters concerning the carpenters and joiners' industry came before the Arbitration Court for consideration yesterday. A decision. of the industrial magistrate, Mr. J. A. Gilmour, last March that certain employees of Henderson and Pollard, Limited, do not come within the scope either of the carpenters and joiners' award or of the timber workers'' award was challenged by the carpenters and joiners' union (Mr. McCarthy). The union alleged that the decision was erroneous in fact and in law. Decision was reserved.
The inspector of awards, Mr. N. V. Dyett, sought an interpretation of the suburban work clause of the carpenters and joiners' award. The question at issue was whether two carpenters engaged by the Waitemata ElectricPower Board to extend its depot at Takapuna were entitled to travelling time and fares. Another question submitted by the inspector was whether certain carpenters erecting houses at Remuera were entitled under the wet places clause of the carpenters and joiners' award to be provided with gumboots or paid 3d an hour extra. In each case the Court reserved its decision.
