TIMBER WORKERS.
DISPUTE FOR HEARING. QUESTION OF DOMINION AWARD. Timber workers and their employers throughout New Zealand are at loggerheads at the present time. While the employees ar advocating a Dominion award to embrace all districts, the employers are seeking to have separate awards framed for each district on the grounds that conditions in various parts of the country vary so. The union advocates in Auckland recently refused to discuss matters in dispute when they met the employers' representatives at the Conciliation Council, until such time as the question of what the nature of the awards was to be was decided by the Arbitration Court. As the weeks Lave passed other branches of the union in both islands have acted in a similar manner. It is probable now that the applications of the employees and the employers will be considered at a session of the Arbitration Court in Christchurch on February 13.
