THE PRINTERS' DISPUTE.
[Pee Peesß Association.]
Wellington, June 25
Giving evidence before the Conciliation Board to-day in regard to the claims of printing machinists the foreman of the New Zealand Times job-printing department said if the demands of the Union were granted, one-twelth of the output of the machine-room would be affected. With the expensive machines now in use, printers had great difficulty in getting sufficient work put out of the machines to pay current expenses. He did not think a journeyman would be justified in refusing to teach a boy the trade. A machinist of thirty-nine years' experience stated in his evidence that he had never suffered in health through the trade. Giving evidence before the Conciliation Board to-day in the printer machinists' dispute, Mr Palmer, lithographic artist, suggested the necessity, owing to machinists varying so much in capacity, of instituting a sliding scale of wages to be settled by employers and the Union.
