THE CABMEN'S CASE.
When the Court resumed this morning the dispute between the Cabmen's Union and the cab proprietors was called. Mr A. Rosser appeared for the Union, and of the proprietors Messrs Martin, Keenan, Pullan and Armitage, and Andrews were represented. Mr Rosser announced that an agreement had been arrived at between the Union and the employers, and signed by both parties. This agreement would be handed in to the Court as a basis for an award. The agreement, which was read by His Honor, contained the following chief clauses—(l) Hours to be 84 per week of 6 days, the daily hours being from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. alternately, one Sunday in each month to be clear. (2) Minimum wage for hansom drivers £2, for drivers of four wheelers £2 5/. (3) Preference to be given Unionists. The employers also agree not to reduce the wages of Unionists now receiving more than the minimum wage. His Honor said the agreement would be put into legal form and filed. •
