CONCILIATION.
The Arbitration Court have undoubtedly taken the right course concerning the case in which an Auckland.. union of employees had refused to discuss before the Conciliation Council } the merits of a dispute in which they sought an award. The action of the union was one? of the most flagrant contempt for the law, for the whole spirit of the new Act is to extend the principle of conciliation in the settlement of disputes. The union took up an indefensible attitude of hostility to the chairman of the Conciliation Council, and declined to proceed with their case before that tribunal, and, passing over the Council, they sought the intervention of the Court. • The union, by that action, forfeited any claim they might have to sympathy, and raised the very justifiable suspicions that their animus against the chairmant carried greater weight in their deliberations than respect for the law which provided the machinery to solve the differences with employers.— “Wellington Times.”
