lii the Dominion baking industry dispute 'before the Arbitration Court today, Mi\ Justice O'Regan said it was just two years since Mr. Justice Page delivered the judgment of the court on the question of hours in the baking industry. lie had decided it was impracticable to apply the 40-hour week to the industry. The judgment was a very detailed one, showing that the matter had been thoroughly considered.
!Mr. Justice O'Rcgan .said that generally speaking he considered himself bound by the decisions of his predecessors. In this instance, the question of hours having been so recently settled 'by Mr. Justice Page's order, as well as (by art award made subsequently, the matter must be considered settled so far as the present dispute was concerned. He recalled, too. the court's intimation in December of a proposal to increase by 5s a week all adult weekly workers' wages so both parties had a plain intimation of the mind of the court and should .be able to narrow down the issues considerably.
