CONCILIATION BOARD.
(per press association.)
Auckland, March 14
A warm discussion occured at the Conciliation Board in the course of the hearing of the carpenter’s dispute. Tho Chairman (Rev A. H. Collins) objected to members of the Board arguing the case with the parties and said they should reserve arguments for the committee.
Mr Allison, a member of tho Beard, strongly objected to tho remark as offensive and intended to bo offon-dve.
The Chairman said they were there to arbitrate and not to champion one side. Mr Alison said ho was doing his best towards conciliation and accused the Chairman of being in sympathy with one side only. Mr Bignall, another member, said ho considered members were there to advocate the interests of the side they represented.
After plain speaking the matter dropped the Chairman denying the charge of onesidedness.
