Three Judges of the Full Court ot the Arbitration Court, in a reserved judgment, refused to restore the 10 per cent, reduction applied to all awards of the Court in 1931, but a majority of the Court decided that a new method of adjusting the Federal basic wage in accordance with the cost of living be adopted by using an “ill items” table instead of an “all houses” table. The Court also decided that the reduction in the basic wage, which was to have come into operation ‘to-day, should not apply.
