ARBITRATION COURT.

BAKERS’ AND PASTRYCOOKS’ DISPUTE.

Par Press Association. AUCKLAND, June 17. In the Arbitration Court, dealing with the bakers’ and pastrycooks’ demands, Mr. Justice Stringer said the baiters had the court’s entire sympathy in their desire to do away with night baking, but there was a difficulty in that the court could not control the master baiters who did not employ hands. The existing awards had not long to run, and the question ought to ho considered from a Dominion view when they expired. Possibly it could be dealt with only by special legislation. On the other demands tho court reserved its decision. The court filed an amendment to the Grocers’ Assistants and Drivers’ Awards (with a 25-mile radius), granting a bonus of 71 per cent, until a further order bv the court.
