SEAMEN’S WAGES
EMPLOYERS WANT REDUCTION. A DISPUTE CREATED. By Telegraph.— Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Following examples set in the mining dispute, and later in the waterside workers dispute, the ship-owners have decided that the Arbitration Court shall be asked to determine the wages and conditions of seamen. In the past the ship-owners have arranged at private conferences the national agreement with the Federated Seamen’s Union, but the tactics
of the employers have since undergone a change. The employers last week submitted to the seaihen proposals for a new agreement, but as the seamen’s organisation has not replied a dispute has been created in the terms of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The claims were filed to-day in the Arbitration Court. It is understood that the ship-owners are seeking a substantial reduction in wages and an almost complete revision of working conditions. The next step will be a meeting of the Conciliation Council.
