CONCILIATION COUNCIL.
LABORERS' DISPUTE PARTIALLY SETTLED. The Conciliation Council resumed its deliberations yesterday, at New Plymouth, in connection with the general laborers' dispute, the Commissioner, Mr. T. Harle Giles, presiding. After a lengthy discussion, the assessors agreed on all points, excepting, in the main, wages and the preference clause. The employers refused to oiler more than 8s per day, and the employees' assessors offend to .meet them half-way by reducing their original claim of 10s to lis, but avail. A deadlock also ensued on the preference clause, which the employers were not prepared to concede. The council will meet again at 10.30 o'clock this morning, in order to ratify the agreement on the points on which an understanding has been arrived at. It is understood that there is no prospect of a settlement of the two questions referred to. These will, in consequence, be referred to the Arbitration Court for settlement.
