INFERNALLY STUPID.
JUDGE ANNOYED. By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, July 24. “I think it is high time we had another Court, when an expensive Court like this is worried with such infernally stupid things as this. It’s about as stupid a thing as I’ve heard for a long, long time.” This strong comment was made in the Arbitration Court this morning by Judge Frazer, when an Inspector of Awards sought an interpretation of the shop assistants’ award as it related to pattern clerks in drapery departments. Judge Frazer said the question was whether sample work might be considered a shop assistant’s work, or office work, so the Court has solemnly to decide whether a girl who chops up a few samples is to get 50 per cent, more than 52/6. “Oh, we.i, I had better not say too much,” concluded the Judge. “We will consider the question, and give a decision in the morning.”
