HOURS & WAGES
SUBMISSION IN COURT OF ARBITRATION (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. A suggestion that the Second Court of Arbitration should give a definite direction to the parties on the question of hours, work and wages was made by Mr D. I. MacDonald this morning, as a preliminary to the hearing of the New Zealand motor and horse drivers’ dispute. Mr MacDonald said the parties could then confer and save the Court much time. He referred to the recent statement of Mr Justice O’Regan'in reference to the bakers’ dispute, pointing out that' the question of hours was regarded as settled. Mr MacDonald claimed that there was an identical set of circumstances in the present dispute. Conciliation council proceedings had twice broken down because of the union assessors’ inability to accept a number of the present provisions concerning hours, and the inability of the employers to agree to wage increases until the hours question had been settled! Mr MacDonald claimed that conditions concerning hours had not altered materially since Mr Justice Page made the 1936 award. The hearing is proceeding.
