ARBITRATION COURT
NEW TRIBUNAL LIKELY t>v Te.pgrpph—Pres® Association CHRISTCHURCH, January 29. Before the next session of Parliament begins, the Minister of Labour (Hon. H. T. Armstrong) will make to the Government recommendations for relieving the Arbitration Court of some of the work which has been accumulating since its industrial powers were restored. Exactly what action he will recommend the Government to take has not been determined by the Minister. “There is no doubt that there is too much pressure on the Court at present,” said Mr Armstrong to-day, "and the setting up of another tribunal to deal with compensation cases would not be enough. There are too many details submitted to the Court.” Although he had not yet decided definitely what recommendations to make to the Government, he had considered the appointment of industrial Magistrates to hear and settle minor disputes. The judging of minor clauses of agreements by conciliation commissioners with one representative of each party like a secondary court, also had been suggested to him, but he bad not yet made any decision.
