DOMINION AWARDS.
THE NEW REGULATIONS. Regulations under the Arbitration Act, as amended last session, have now been framed to enable the setting up of Dominion councils of conciliation for the purpose of arriving at Dominion awards for one particular industry. Until the law was altered it was only possible for awards to relate to one industrial district, but power is now given for two or more of the eight industrial districts of New Zealand to be covered by one award in any one trade or calling. Ordinarily, a district conciliation council consists of three assessors on either side, hut for a Dominion council it will be possibe to increase the number to six. To secure a Dominion award, or an award covering two or more industrial districts, it will be necessary for the application to be made by a registered association in the industry concerned, either on the employers’ or the workers’ side. Unless there is some- such, registered association, the number of parties to be cited in a dispute affecting several districts, or the Dominion ns a whole, would necessarily bo large.
