INDUSTRIAL MAGISTRATES
APPOINTMENTS PROBABLE FACILITATING WORK OF ARBITRATION (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 18. The advisability of appointing industrial magistrates to relieve the Arbitration Court in matters of minor importance is being considered by the Minister of Labour (Mr H. T Armstrong), who stated to-day that he was thinking seriously of recommending such a step to the Government. He indicated that if magistrates were appointed they would have to be properly qualified men. Auckland would receive first consideration in view of the pressure of work there. He considered that industrial magistrates would, by relieving the Arbitration Courts of these minor matters, be able to give interpretations of awards much more expeditiously than was possible at present.
