FARM WORKERS’ WAGES
RESUMPTION OF DISCUSSION
MINISTER TO MEET PARTIES
The discussion on wages and conditions for farm workers will be resumed at Wellington on Wednesday. A deadlock was reached at the first conference between representatives of the New Zealand Workers’ Union and the New Zealand Sheepowners’ Federation and Farmers’ Union. The Minister for Labour (the Hon. P. C. Webb) will preside at Wednesday’s conference. He was absent from the first meeting. It is his duty, as Minister, finally to fix the wages under an extension order of the Agricultural 'Workers Act. On this occasion, the workers are asking for increased wages and a set of working conditions, with the employers offering the terms of the present order.
