WANT DOMINION AWARD. SOME PROGRESS MADE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Conciliation Council further considered the Dominion dispute created by the Carpenters' and Joiners' Society to-day, when the whole of the general provisions of the old award were agreed to, but a general provision in respect of ship work was amended to provide that overtime should commence after eight hours' work on ordinary days, and after four hours' work on Saturday, instead of after a 44 hours per week had been worked. It was decided that no exemptions should be allowed to private employers, firms or companies. After discussion, decision on the question of hours was held over. On overtime and holidays the society's representative agreed "to the clauses of the old award, with the exception that the question of payment for holidays should be referred to the Court. The preference clause was also referred to the Court. A Christchurch employer said that the difficulty in Christchurch was that of equal preference to the Canterbury Carpenters' Union -was not agreed to. The Commissioner said the best solution would be for the two unions to amalgamate and be brothers, as they ought to be.
