CONCILIATION COUNCIL
BOOTMAKERS' DISPUTE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The Conciliation Board had before it to-day a dispute between the New Zealand Federated Bootmakers' Association operatives and the Boot Manufacturers' Industrial Union of Employers, with regard to a demand for increased wages and a general improvement of the con 3 ditions of labor. The Court consisted of Messr. Harle Giles (chairman), Hutchi-" son and Barnes (Auckland), and the assessors. Mr. Prior, for the employers, stated that they were not prepared to go on with the matter before the Council, objecting to it being only a local dispute, and they desired a Dominion award. The mere fact that the Department had failed to have the new regulations framed and printed was no reason for the Department putting any bar to a reference being filed. He asked the operatives' federation to withdraw the present proceedings, and take steps t« obtain a Dominion award. Mr. Whiting, for the operatives, demurred. Mr. Prior insisting, the Court adjourned till 4 p.m., with a view to enable a modified claim to be brought by the Union.
