'Pno assessors for tlie union held that Mr Greenfell. being secretary of the AVell i nut on Km ployors’ Association, had no right to express opinions on belnilf nf the workers. A motion to go into committee was defeated, and the points in dispute were discussed seriatim.

Tt was contended that hours of work, rates of pay and conditions generally were bettor in Auckland than in Wellington.

Here again Dominion comparisons were made. Nothing definite was decided.
