A WAGE DISPUTE.
[IEB PBEBB ASSOCIATION,]
Nblson, October 21,
The Collingwood Miners and Laborers Union filed a plaint against the Parapara Hydraulic Sluicing Company, Limited, demanding- a rise from 8s to 10j a day. The Conciliation Board proceeded 10 Collingwood, and after taking evidence and viewing the works have tiled an award in which they recommend that the miners’ w r ages be increased from 8s to 8s 6d per day during the ensuing tw'elve months, commencing on the Ist December. The Board expressed the opinion that 9s a day, the minimum rate on the West Coast, is not excessive for sluicing work ; but considering the adverse cir cumstances' under which the Company has been struggling for the last nine years, coupled with the fact that the miners employed by the Company have less broken time than the other sluicers in the district, the miners should accept the increased rate.
