The dispute between the New Zealand Federated Sawmills, Timber Yards, and Coal Yards’ Union and the employers, which came before the Council of Conciliation at Christchurch, was adjourned. The union seeks a dominion award, and the employers object, preferring local awards. The union was represented by six assessors, but only Mr Prime (secretary of the Christchurch Employers’ Association) appeared for the employers, no assessors having been appointed. Eventually, to constitute a Conciliation Council properly, Mr Prime was appointed assessor with six votes. It was agreed on the casting vote of the chairman that the council stand adjourned pending the decision of the court on the issue of dominion awards versus local awards.—Press Association.
