CONCILIATION AND ARBITRATION ACT.
PROTEST AGAINST SUSPENSION. WELLINGTON, January 24. The Wellington branch of tho Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners has forwarded to the Minister of Labour a resolution protesting against tho Order-in-Council providing for the suspension of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act and awards and industrial agreements in so far as they are restricted to the employment of discharged soldiers, and expressing the opinion that the proposals are reactionary, and calculated to place the discharged soldier at the mercy of those who. may be unscrupulous enough to take advantage of his position and pension; calculated also to place autocratic powers in the hands of the inspector of factories and to undermine and reduce the standard of living of the workers generally.
