CHRISTCHURCH TRAMWAYS' DISPUTE.
/. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) P . CHEISTCHDECH, this day Opinions differed at the meeting of temray employees- on the question : of" the strict enforcement ;, of the overcrowding by-law, and the decision: not to put a resolution on the subject into effect was to a large extent due to advice from the New Zealand Federated j Tramway Employers' Association, ■which, ■urged-that all means of moral suasion should be used before resorting to extreme measures. The possibility of the ' Union's action being nullified" by the Board rescinding the by-law also carried The decision arrived at to ask the Board to increase conductors' -wages by a halfpenny per hour as an allowance for possible shortages, was the result of the contention that the enforcement of the Board's new system, where- • under deficiencies have to bb made np, and surpluses are considered the property of the Board, is tantamount to a reduction of wages.
