AN INDUSTRIAL CASE.
NOMINAL PENALTY IMPOSED
fPun Ultima Association.! CHRISTCHURCH, Jan. 25
Mr. Bishop, S.M., gave judgment today in an industrial ease in 'Bagger v. iSkelton Frostick and Co., an alleged breach of award in respect of deductions from apprentices’ wages for holidays in carnival week. The Magistrate had looked into the matter very carefully. The award clearly stated that the wages of apprentices should be paid weekly, and in view of that he did not think there could be any deduction. The fact that the wording of other clauses in the award was not clear was not to allow the deduction to be made. Taking the award as a whole he had no hesitation in saying a breach had been made. The case being a test one, he imposed a nominal penaity of 20s and costs on each of two counts. Leave was granted to appeal.
