TRAMWAYS TROUBLE.

; "NO REPRESENTATIONS TO BOARD." EXPUNGING OF MINUTE. "THIRD PARTY" INTERVENTION. While it is understood that "feelers" have been thrown out in connection with terms for a settlement of the dispute between the Transport Board and the Auckland Tramways and Omnibus Employees' Union over the demand made on the latter to expunge a certain minute, no proposals have been made officially to the board. "No representations have yet been made to the board," said the chairman of the Transport Board (Mr. J. A. C. Allum) this morning, "But I know the board will not place unnecessary obstacles in the way of a settlement." The union is making attempts to promote reconciliation, and a set of proposals aiming at this end have been drawn up by "a third party." The proposals are that both parties should expunge all minutes referring to matters arising out of the Massicks appeal case, and that a fresh start should be made as though Massicks had not been dismissed, and in consequence that Massicks be reinstated. It is also'suggested that a committee of two representatives of the Transport Board, two of the Tram T*?/? 8 Club and two from tte union should be set up to consider the employ* ment clause in the agreement between the board and the union as it affects new men regarding club membership, and ite operation concerning membership 7i other benefit societies paying intn +£ tramwaymen's medical fund. The nm posals will first be submitted to the e */f tie union, and, if adooted will be offered to the Transport Boii
