The whole Court smiled during the hearing of the evidence in the bakers' dispute at Masteiton before the Arbitration Court -(remarks' the Age), when a witness said, he had .mistaken the unaccepted recommendations of the _ Conciliation Board, published in the papers as an award by the . Arbitration Court, and thereupon demanded an increase of 5s per ' week in accordance, with the same. For seven weeks he drew this technically "unearned increment," when the employer learnt the true position, and the wages straightway dropped to their normal level.
