THE BOOTMAKERS’ DISPUTE.
(per press association.)
Cqbistchuech, Aprii 30.
When the Arbitration Court resumed this morning Frostiek, president of the Federated Boot Manufacturers’ Association, stated that tne employers had made good progress in regard to the points which it had considered privately the previous day. He handed in a statement which he said would cover the whole matter that the Court would now be called on to deal with. Justice Cooper decided to adjourn the Court till next morning in order to give the employers and workers further time to consider the points still in dispute. The Union delegate asked His Honor if he would meet the parties privately and assist; them to frame rules.
His Honor replied that ho wonld be very glad to do so. The main points at issue now are the hourti per week and the minimum weekly wage.
His Honor said that if the parties would come to a mutual agreement without the intervention of the Court, except on some vital point, it would be much more satisfactory than by means of an award.
