ARBITRATION ACT.
CORPORATE BODIES SUBJECT TO
ITS PROVISIONS
[Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON. August 2
Judgment in the Otago painters’ industrial dispute was given at the Appeal Court. The short question was whether municipal corporations and Harbor Boards were subject to the provisions of the Industrial Arbitration Act. If tho principal Act were looked at, there was nothing in it to exclude corporations or Harbor Boards. The Arbitration Court had all along purposed to exercise its jurisdiction over such bodies. It would therefore require the clearest possible indication to exclude any particular comoration. The answer to the question before the Court would bo that the Arbitration Court had jurisdiction to bind municipaKcorporations or Harbor Boards by an award, except so far as related to officers and servants lawfully appointed under section 70 of the Corporations Act and section 38 of the HarborBoards Act, who were paid by salary and did not receive wages.
