FARMERS DEAIAND ABOLITION. By Telegraph’—Press Association. DANNEVIRKE, March. 18. The Executive of the Southern Handle’s Bay Farmers’ Union briefly discussed tlie Arbitration Court at a meeting yesterday, and decided: “That this Provincial Executive requests the Dominion Executive to take steps to have the Arbitration Court abolished, and in its place to set up industrial boards of co-operation between employers and employees.’i No indication was given as to how the proposed boards would be constituted, or how they would operate. The matter of telephone charges was also discussed, it being contended that country residents are unfairly treated compared with towns. It was decided to make representations to the Post and Telegraph Department to have charges to users of telephones in the country, particularly those residing in the back blocks, reduced.
