GARDENERS' WAGES.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Oardeners Employees' Union applied to the Arbitration Court for an award to-day. The dispute mainly concerned the City Council labour on reserves. 'Mr. Greirfell, on behalf of Mr. Waug-h. nurseryman, applied to have Iris name etruck out from the parties cited. He pointed omt that there were a number of Chinese nurserymen who had not been cited, leaving- Mr. Waugh practically the only nurseryman cited with the City and Petone Councils. His Honor asked why other nurserymen had not been cited, and advised that claims against the City and Petone Councils be proceeded with, and fresh claims made against nurserymen.
The evidence showed that an agreement was come to, before the Conciliation Commissioner except regarding the custodians of the reserves, who. the Councils maintained, could not be classed as gard-eners. Ultimately the agreement arrived at was made into an award to cover the City and Petone Councils, his Honor saying that further terms could perhaps be come to regarding custodians.
