OTAGO HARBOUR BOARD
WORKING OF ELECTRIC CRANES. ARBITRATION COURT’S OPINION. (Per United Press Association.) Dunedin, September 25. The Arbitration Court to-day gave its opinion on the question of the working of the Harbour Board’s two new electric cranes. The watersiders have held up the use of these, contending that they should be worked by their union members, whereas the board decided to employ its permanent hands.
Mr Justice Frazer stated that having regard to the construction, intricacy, and potential danger of the mechanism of electric cranes, the board was entitled to de-cide-whether it would employ casual waterside workers or its permanent hands to drive them, and if it, elected to do the latter, these workers were exempt from award provisions. ,
