Hie Palmerston North flaxmillers sought a revision by the Arbitration Court of the cutting rata fixed by the inspector of factories of 16s 7gd per ton. claiming that 13s was an equitable rate.

Tallies must be taken for six months, and meanwhile the rate from October 6 would be 10s per ton. BLENHEIM, October 11.
