By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night.

A conference between the representatives of the Merchant Service Guild and the Union Company was concluded last week in Dunedin, when' the following concessions and improvements tfi-oflicers' working conditions were agreed upon:— All officers, from captain to fourth mate, engaged in the New Zealand trade or under articles taken out in the Dominion are to receive increased salaries. Improvements in conditions of work are conceded, but preference to Unionists will not he granted. Captains ana officers of vessels sailing on Sunday will receive an extra day's pav ) the same as the crew do now. All captains will receive twenty-one days' annual holiday, instead of the present twenty-one and seventeen days for masters of passenger ships and colliers respectively. All masters are to have two full days' clear for holiday in each month. All officers will receive uniform and mountings free. NOTES. An interesting point in the fixing of a flat rate has apparently been forgotten in sonic quarters, and that while the price lias been made for steamers at 85s per ton, the charter party in some instances may be 95s per ton and in otherß down to 75s per ton. The custom, according to an Australian paper, is to pay freight at the port of discharge. This payment, of course, is accepted by the representatives of the boat in term?, of tlie charter party. If this is 955. the shipper would, under present conditions, pay 10s per ton above the flat rate, and if 755, 10s per ton below the flat rate. From whom does he collect the amount overpaid, or to whom does he pay the amount nnderapid?
