FORTY-HOUR 4 WEEK.
BOILERMAKERS AND OTHERS.
WAGES IN DISPUTE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. A settlement was reached on the question of weekly hours of work, certain wage provisions and a number of machinery clauses in the dispute heard in the Conciliation Council, in which a separate agreement is sought by the New Zealand Federated Boilermakers, Iron and Steel, Ship and Bridgebuilders' Industrial Association of Workers. Up to the present boilermakers have been incorporated in the engineers' award.
The main question referred to the Court is that of wages, on which little progress was made to-day. A 40-hour week, to be worked between Monday and Friday, was agreed to. The workers sought a minimum rate for journeymen of 3/ an hour and the employers' counter-proposal was 2/6.
