CATTLEMEN’S WAGES
CLAIMS FOR INCREASES.
By Telegraph.—Preu Association. Blenheim, Nov. 17.

The employers counter-claimed' for lower rates.
The parties failed to reach an agreement except on one or two formal matters with reference to conditions and the scope of the award. The dispute wap, therefore, referred to the Arbitration Court.
