FEDERAL ARBITRATION COURT
ITS ABOLITION PREDICTED. iSpeciai ro Daii.v Times, i AUCKLAND, July 26. The abolition of the Federal Arbitration Court in Australia is predicted by Mr S. Perry, of the Perry Engineering Company. Adelaide, yho is a through passenger to Canada on the Aorangi. The working of the court has been far from satisfactory, according to Mr Perry, and .both employers and employees in Australia will not be sorry to see the last of it. “There has been,widespread dissatisfaction with the court," Mr Perry said.' “ Its practice in framing awards has been to make a flat rate for adoption throughout the Commonwealth, but as the conditions vary .so greatly in the different States this is manifestly unfair. In South -Australia, for instance, we have no coal supplies and no water for hydroelectric schemes, and yet the tendency of the court has been to treat our men in the same way as the men of the other States where these benefits exist," , Frequent overlappings of Federal and State awards was another point held out in the demand for the abolition of the court, Mr Perry addbd. This had occasioned many industrial troubles, ami lie felt sure that State arbitration would result in more harmonious relations between the workers and their employers
