GREYMOUTH WATERSIDE WORKERS.
ALLEGED BREACH OF AWARD. GREYMOUTH, October 2. In finding that tho old Waterside Workers’ Union award of 1915 is no longer valid, and that the Union Steam Ship Company has not committed a breach of such award by employing new unionists and by entering into an agreement with them, the Arbitration Court judgment comments that the old union seems to regard the award in much tho same light as the Germans regard an international treaty, as a mere scrap of paper, binding on it if and only when it suited its own purposes. And just as the German view has been condemned by all civilised nations as absolutely destructive of international morality and good faith, so thQ court thinks that if the union's views of an award were to prevail it would bo absolutely destructive of industrial morality and good faith.
