HOT AIR AND HOT HEADS.
JUDGE REBUKES LABOUR ADVOCATE. (Per Press Association'.) DUNEDIN. May 3. The Arbitration Court heard the Otago and Southland Brick, Pottery and Tile Workers’ dispute. ✓ The Union asked for a forty-eight hour week for brick burners, at 2s 8d an hour, and an advance in other rates to those of other centres. Mr Boreham, for the Union, contended that all burners were skilled workers'. He declared that the Auckland decision, giving a twelve-hour day, was outrageous. Mr Justice Frazer: I think you had better leave the Auckland case alone. There was a lot of hot air talked by a lot of hot heads. We understand the position there, and if you confine yourself to the position here, we will understand that. Mr Justice Frazer intimated that the case would be considered separately. After taking evidence, the Court re* served its decision.
