ARBITRATION ACT.
“ Amendments will Lower Costs.” Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, May 18. “They are practically identical with proposals we have advocated in the Farmers’ Union—compulsory conciliation and voluntary arbitration,” remarked Mr W. J. Poison, M.P., president of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, when reviewing amendments to the Arbitration Act at a meeting of the Dominion Executive. Mr Poison said he thought the effect would be to assist in bringing down costs, which was such an essential point from a farming point of view. “I believe we are going to see shortly better conditions,” he said, “but they won’t come immediately. It will probably be a year or more before we see any appreciable improvement, and meantime we have to face problems in this country.”
