ARBITRATION COURT
Suspension of Awards Discussed. STATEMENT BY MINISTER. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, December 14. “ Until something is done to help the farmer the rest of New Zealand is bound to have unemployment,” said the Hon Downie Stewart when replying to a Farmers’ Union deputation. “ The whole thing at present is to get down to internal costs. We have on the stocks some proposals regarding the Arbitration Act, although I do not think they will help nearly as much as fanners think they will. I thought the best way might be by suspension of awards, but all the experts in this subject say that Would not meet the case at all and that we would have to alter the constitution of the Court.”
Mr Stewart added that it appeared that it was the irritating conditions attached to awards that were the cause of the trouble.
