out you people offer a 10 to 15 per cent. decrease. If that is tbe best you can do, we can't agree to.it." Tbe seeretary of tbe Employers ' Association, Mr. W. J. Gardner, - said tbat Mr. Eoberts had taken Wellingvon conditiSns as tbe basis for tbe wbole of New Zealand, and tbe conditions tbere were not applicable to all otber ports. Tbe commissioner remarked tbat in the event . of no further offer being made in regard to wages it did not appear to be of much value for tbe council to discuss wages. Tbe difference was too wide to be reconciled, and tbe question would bave to be referred t'o the court. The council then set to work discussing jobs, in relation to each port separately, but it ended in a de?laration by Mr. Eoberts that it was a case of a blank refusal to meet the men.
