EMPLOYERS’ CONFERENCE
PRESS ASSOCIATION Wellington, laat night. The Employers’ Federation Oonferenoo, which opened to-day in Wellington, is being held in camera. Resolutions were passed protesting against preference of employment being given to unionists, and in favor of employment of improvers when provision is made in an award for the engagement of apprentice. It was decided that as Conciliation Boards had not in past been of advantage to either employees or employers that future disputes should, if conferences failed to bring üboul a settlement, be carried direct to the Arbitration Court; Government is to be asked to insert a new clause in the Conciliation and Arbitration Act, providing that rßferet3C3 to a board or oourt shall not be made by any union unless it has the conourronoß of a majority of workers engaged in the particular industry within iho industrial district. Mr W. Pryer was appointed organisation secretary of the Federation.
