AWARD OF CONCILIATION BOARD.
(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT). Invercargile, Last Night. The award of the Conciliation Board in the tailoring depute virtually concedes the employers' points. They insisted that the proportion of apprentices to journeymen and weekly wagemeu to piece workers should be as fixed by the Arbitration Court; that the Dunedhv minimum wage be £2 10s and the hours 48 per week. The clause as to female labour was struck out, the Board not feeling justified in making any recommendation on the subject, as the tailoresses were not represented. The agreement will remain in force till the end of the year. - .•■ ■■ ■
