DAIRY WORKERS.
TARANAKI MEN SEEK AWARD. REFUSAL BY THE COURT By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wanganui, July 28. Application was made by the Taranaki Dairy Workers’ Union to the Arbitration Court to-day for an award. This is the first application made by the union. The wages asked were £5 weekly. Mr. Lyons, for the union, said the Southland and Otago awards would be acceptable as a basis for the award. He rejected the employers’ counter-claim entirely. Mr. Bishop, for the employers, pointed out that if the Southland and Otago awards were accepted the union would be accepting less than the men were now receiving. Mr. Justice Frazer, after hearing argument, said the Court would not entertain the application for an award in view of the absence of information regarding Taranaki conditions.
