LABOURERS' DISPUTE.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WANGA2CUI 3 Monday. The Conciliation Board sat this morning to hear the general labourers' dispute as affecting the local bodies and contractors. Many of the employers, considering that there ■were no local demands ior increased ■wages, did not appear, but several were subpoenaed by the Board, and gave evidence. The chairman said that no matter whether the dispute affected the local contractors or not, it originated in the Wellington industrial district, and therefore had to be heard as affecting the whole district. Several workers' representatives gave evidence, and the Board adjourned to Palmerston North.
