COURT ANNOUNCES PAINTERS' AWARD.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON'. December 19. The Dominion Painters' Award has l»een filed, by the Arbitration Court. In a memorandum Mr Justice Frazer states that the Court has settled the provisions relating to wages, ship work and exemptions, reserving power in the two latter cases to amend the award on application being made for that purpose. Mr Monteith dissents from the opinion of the majority of the Court on the matter of wages. He considers that the same additional payment to outside workers should be awarded as in the case of carpenters. In other respects the award follows the recommendations of the Conciliation Council, which the parties agreed to accept. The award provides for a forty-four-hour week. The minimum rate of wages for journeymen painters, paperhangers, glaziers, grainers, signwriters, decorators and pictorial sign painters is 2s 3d an hour. The award is to operate throughout the Northern Taranaki, Wellington. Nelson, Canterbury, Otago and Southland Industrial Districts, but not within the Gisborne Judicial Distrjpt.
