STILL UNSETTLED.
THE SLAUGHTERMEN'S DISPUTE. The dispute between the freezing companies and the Slaughtermen's Federation as to rotes of pay and conditions of work is apparently as far from being settled as ever. As the outcome of tho conference of companies' representatives at Christchurch some ten days ago, fresh counter-proposals were submitted to tho representatives of. tho Slaughtermen's Federation at a conference' of delegates from the federation and the North Island companies in Wellington. These proposals, it is understood, included an advance on present rates of pay, but they were rejected by the slaughtermen. No movement has been made for any further conference, ond tho dispute therefore remains unsettled. It is understood that similar terms were offered by the South Island companies. ' Tho chief claim of the federation is for an increase of tho killing rate from 255. to 30s. per hundred carcasses. They also ask to have the proportion of apprentices to be employed.reduced from one in ten to one'in twenty. This latter demand is regarded by the companies as one of great importance, and is being strenuously opposed by them.
