HAIRDRESSERS' DISPUTE IN WELLINGTON
•> WAGES REFERRED TO COURT WELLINGTON, September 13. An increase in the charge for cutting hair was suggested in Conciliation Council to-day as one means by which the hairdressers* demands for higher wages might be met. The employers' advocate, however, considered that the only solution of the difficulties confronting what was described as a Cinderella industry, lay in the compulsory registration and licensing of hairdressers Until this was introduced, he contended, employers would be unable to go as far as they would like in conceding wage increases. The dispute concerns the whole Wellington industrial district. An agreement on hours and other questions was reached on September 8. Consideration of the wage clauses was deferred to to-day to enable both parties to find the effect of the Court's pronouncement on a standard wage. Both sides offered concessions without prejudice, but were unable to agree. The question was referred to the Arbitration Court.
