Wellington grocers dispute heard by Arbitration Court
The Arbitration Court heard the Wellington grocers dispute with Union counsel noting agreement on most points but not wages for assistants and cartels. The Union seeks higher rates reflecting an 18 to 20 percent rise in cost of living and proposes 3 pounds weekly for assistants over 23, with youths paid proportionally and cartage wages set by job type. The Court will determine if 22 pounds 5 shillings is a living wage after review of evidence.

Electoral methods and ballot systems in Australia and New Zealand
The Deputy Returning Offices of South Australia Mr C H Stephens visited New Zealand to study electoral methods for possible reforms in his state. He praised South Australia for its model system and noted the influence of Boothby’s Ballot Act and the square with an inscribed cross. He observed guarded ballot boxes and card voter registers, and discussed preferential voting versus the second ballot, noting that in practice preferential voting often mirrors the first count and risks subverting its aims.
