GOVERNMENT NOMINEE RESIGNS
POSITION BECOME UNTENABLE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Dec. 17. A Government nominee on the New Zealand Dairy Board, Mr W. E. Scott, sent his resignation to the Minister of „Agriculture to-day. In an accompanying letter, Mr Scott told the Minister that because of the Government’s recent order-in-council allowing additional penal rates for Sunday work in dairy factories, his position as Government nominee on the dairy board had become, untenable. This was "the major development today in the dairy factory dispute. The ultimatum of the Waikato and Northland branches of the Dairy Factory Workers’ Union to their employers still stands. The workers claim certain major concessions, and failing a settlement to-morrow have threatened to strike, The employers have insisted that the normal legal process of conciliation under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act must be pursued. They have protested to the Prime Minister in strong terms against Monday’s order-in-coun-cil.
