WELLINGTON, last night. The Govei'nment nominee of the New Zealand Dairy Board, Mr. W. E. Scott, sent his resignation to th'e Minister of Agriculture, to-day. In an accompanying letter, Mr. Scott told the Minister that, because of the Government's recent Order-in-Council, allowing additional penal rates for Sund.ay work in dairy factories, his position as Government nominee on the Dairy Board' had become -untenable. This was the major development to-day in the dairy factory dispute. The ultimatum of the Waikato and Northland hranches of t'he Dairy Factories Workers' Union to their employers still stands. The workers claim certaixx major concessions and, failing a settlement to-morrow. ha-ye threatened to -strike. The employex;s _ have insisted that the. normal legal proeess of conciliation under the Industrial 'Gonciliation and Aibitx'ation Act must be pursued. They have *protested to the Prime Minister in stroxxg tems against Monday's Order-in-Council.
