ARBITRATION AWARDS
MORE FLEXIBILITY NEEDED The bearing of the operations of the Arbitration Court on the farmers' costs, unemployment, and the industrial situation in general, has received the careful consideration of the Government, said the Hon. W.. Downie Stewart last night. It is considered that many conditions and restrictions now in operation in many of the Arbitration Court awards seriously militate against the employment of our people. The economic conditions now existing demand more flexibility for the purpose of making it "possible for employers and employees' to arrive at agreements that will enable costs to be reduced, and at the same time allow for maximum employment and the fullest development of our industries. It is proposed to amend the Act, mainly on the lines suggested by the 1928 industrial conference, the chief feature of which is known as compulsory conciliation and voluntary arbitration.
