CONCILIATION COUNCIL.
THE ■PEIXTERS' DISPUTE. A sitting of the Conciliation was held in New Plymouth yesterday to sonsider proposals for an award governing wages, hours and 'conditions of typographical workers. Mr. T. ITarle Giles, Conciliation Commissioner, presided. Messrs F. Pirani (Feilding), L. T. Watk'ins (Wellington) and W. C. Weston (New IPlymouth) were the assessors for the employers, and Messrs F. W. Swift (Wellington), C. fl. Chapman (Wellington) and F. Robinson (Xew Plymouth) represented the Typographical Union. Leave was granted to add the Taranaki Master iPrinters', Lithographers' and Bookbinders' Industrial Union of Employees as parties to the dispute. An unusual feature of the dispute is contained in the fact that the employers, and not the workers, filed the claims. The employers asked for an increase of hours, and that the wages remain practically as in the old award. There were between 200 and 300 clauses to deal with, and the points raised in the dispute were of a technical character. The respective parties sought to effect a considerable change in the working conditions of printers.
