THE SLAUGHTERMEN’S DISPUTE.
The dispute between the freezing companies ;.;d the daughtermen’s E.; ii.nrs;-’ as co rates <■> pay and conniniv.s 01 work v u>i-n being settled >; ev'-c. As the caucoiae of the confidence of companies’ representatives at Christchurch some ten days ago, fresh counter-pro-posals were submitted to the representatives of the Slaughtermen’s Federation at a conference of delegate.-, iiom the federal.on and the North Island companies in Wellington. These proposals, it is understood, included an advance on present rates of pay, but they were rejected by the slaughtermen. No movement has been made for any further conference, and the dispute therefore remains unsettled. It is understood that similar terms were offered by the South Island companies. The chief claim of the Federation is for an increase of the killing rate from 25s to 30s per hundred carcases. They also ask to have the proportion of apprentices to be employed reduced from one in ten to one in twenty. This latter demand is regarded by the companies as one of great importance, and is being strenuously opposed by them.
