LIKELY TO BECOME PERMANENT
SECOND ARBITRATION COURT STATEMENT BY MINISTER [ Per Press z.bsociation. J WELLINGTON, April 1. Though it was appointed only temporarily for the purpose of helping to overtake arrears work arising out of industrial disputes and compensation cases, the Second Arbitration Court is likely to become a permanent fixture, according to a statement made by the Minister of Labour (Hon. T. T. Armstrong) in an interview. This Court was established under legislation passed last November, and its tenure was for a specified period of 12 months with a provision for an extension. Mr. Armstrong said that the two courts, which were now sitting in Wellington, had made god progress in cleaning up arrears work, though it would be some little time before this task was completed.
“After this,” said the Minister, “it may be considered wise for one Court to deal with compensation cases alone and have its servees available for other work, leaving the first Court free to handle arbitration matters only. What other work may be given to the second Court will be a question for the Government to determine. I think there is likely to be plenty of work for it to do.”
