During the hearing of this inquiry the parties have submitted numerous text-books, judgments, awards, statistical records, and other documentary evidence, and some oral evidence. The whole of the evidence taken before the Royal Commission, covering 2,879 pages of printed foolscap, has also been submitted; and the report of the Commission itself; the subsequent memorandum of the Chairman; the Supplementary Report of the Royal Commission; a pamphlet entitled The Next Step (by the Chairman, Mr A B Piddington); and one entitled The Basic Wage Betrayal, published by the Committee of the Conference of Federated Unions. In addition I have before me the shorthand report of the addresses of the representatives of the parties, which occupied over four days. It is impossible in a judgment on the question before this Court, under the circumstances, to deal in detail with the evidence, or the reasons urged by the parties, or to do much more than state the decisions arrived at on the principal questions raised.
