THE SHEARERS' DISPUTE.
ANOTHER SET-BACK. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCBTJROH, this day. The general secretary of the Shearer 3 and Woolshed Employees' Association Workers last night forwarded the the following telegram to Mr. Taylor, M.P.:—"Employers absolutely decline unfettered conference, as suggested by you. Therefore, we. must withdraw invitation with regret."
Mr. Laracy states that the employers would only consent to the proposed conference if the Union signed a guarantee that members of the Union would accept the minimum rate fixed by the conference or court.
Mr. H. D. Acland, a member of the Sheepowners' Union, on being interviewed, stated that Mr. W. Pryor was to have seen the Minister for Labour yesterday to ascertain the terms on which the delegates to any conference that might be held were to meet, but no reply had been received from Mr. Pryor, and so far as the Canterbury Sheepowners' Union were concerned, the position was the same as at the closj of the fruitless, informal conference, held in Christehurch last Thursday.
