LATE NIGHT CLOSING
AUCKLANDERS ASK FOR ALTERATION. ' (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND,, May 6. Mention was made at the Arbitration Court to-day of the desire on the part of Auckland employers to revert to 8.30 closing on late shopping night, instead of 9 p.m. in the award, and to close at 12.30 on Saturday. Mr. Justice Herdman said the Court was absolutely unable to alter the award without the consent of beth parties. Mr. Crosby secretary of the Employees’ Association, said that the matter had been referred to the Unions throughout the Dominion and they were well satisfied with the award as it stands. He thought the Unions would be well rdvised .toagree to the proposed alteration, having achieved a curtailment of the late night after twelve years’ fighting. Argument is proceeding.
