PAY OF APPRENTICES.

(Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, June 1. At-the Arbitration Court Mr J. T. Paul said that the increased cost of living was bearing just as hardly on apprentices as on journeymen. They were in the majority of cases the sons and daughters of the poorer classes.The President (Judge Stringer) said that the difficulty was to interfere with contracts entered into for a- period of time. . He appreciated what had been said, and the Court would look into the matter. Mr A. Martin, representing the. tailoring trade, said that the apprentices did not come from the poorer classes. In some cases in the tailoring trade the apprentices had a high school education. There "was great danger of. boys and girls getting too l niucli money. v ~ Mr Paul remarked that he had addressed the Court on the general question. \
