Arising out of the application by the Federation of labour to the Court of Arbitration for a fixture for hearing a general ease for wage increases, in which the Court would be asked to make an order for an immediate and simultaneous increase in all award wages to meet the increased cost of living, a conference between employers* nnd manufacturers' representatives and the federation was held in Wellington last week.
