LITTLE PROGRESS RESULTS.
WELLINGTON, December 7
Little progress was made in the Conciliation Council in hearing the Dominion drivers’ dispute before ;M? Newton (Conciliation Commissioner). The schedules of proposals and counter proposals of the workers and employ er.s were at variance to a considerable degree. The important question of the weekly hours of work was the first one considered, and it was held over for further consideration later on in the proceedings much time was spent discussing the general economic situation and kindred topics. Tn this the Commissioner gave the Council more oi less free rein, but he remarked, when the Council adjourned until to-mor-row. that he had heard most of it recently several times over.
