ARBITRATION DISPUTES
EFFECT OF NEW LEGISLATION.
ACTION PROPOSED BY JUDGE,
Uy Telegraph.—Pres® Association. Wellington, April 15. Mr Justice Frazer in the Arbitration Court to-day said with regard to making j fixtures for the hearing of disputes that the proper attitude to adopt was to wait till the Bill 'was passed and, assuming its essential features were not altered, to make an order referring all disputes now pending back to the Conciliation Council. That was to say that it would now be necessary for anyone to appear and ask that that be done. Herbert Turner, watersider, was successful in an action against Gannaway and Co., stevedores, in respect of an injury while at his occupation. In avoiding a piece of falling timber he struck his elbow against a timber stack, sustaining an injury which temporarily incapacitated him. He claimed that total incapacity would remain for some oo®slderable time.
The Court gave judgment for the payment of compensation to date and for a further 13 weeks.
