ARBITRATION COURT.

Per Press Association.

WELLINGTON, June 27.

At the sitting of the Arbitration Court -to-day, Mr. Justice Sim had occasion to remark that the Court did not fix wages on a profit-making basis. Under such a feystem men would have to go without* wages if there were no profits. The Court should endeavour to give men fail* remuneration for their work regardless'of whether the employers got profit or not. Profits could only be taken into consideration in extreme cases where an increase in wages would wipe out a business. The employers' representative on the bench remarked that frequently if tho Court gave what the men asked for, the men would in consequence be walking the streets. N
