The Conciliation Council considered the application by the newly formed Coal and Cargo Workers' Union, principally representing ex-strikers, for an agreement and an all-round increase on the wages paid under the pre-3trike agreement. A further application was made to join the Auckland Watersiders' (Arbitration) Union, as parties to the agreement. The Employers cited declined to discuss the matter aid the case goes to the Arbitration Court direct. In the course of the proceedings, replying to the Employers Mr Way, on behalf of the Union, stated ever since the strike between six and seven hundred practical waterside workers had been refused employment on the wharves owing to the fact that the Arbitration Union had declined to admit them to membership notwithstanding sworn affidavits that the applicants believed in the principle of arbitration. The Commissioner agreed to the Arbitration Union being joined in the dispute.
