An ultimatum issued by the Canterbury Carpenters’, Plasterers’ and Bricklayers’ Union, to the management of the Christchurch - Lyttelton Road Tunnel project, will be discussed by the Federation of Labour executive in Wellinffton today. The executive will also discuss a resolution bv the Canterbury Trades Council, opposing any suggestion that workers on the Manapouri tail-race project be housed in the liner Wanganella. The executive is also certain to discuss the Christchurch carpenters’ dispute. The secretary of the Canterbury Trades Council. Mr F. L. Langley, left on the inter-island steamer last night to attend the national executive meeting. Mr Langley said before he left yesterday that he would also hold discussions in Wellington with the national executive of the New Zealand Carpenters’ Union today on the carpenters’ dispute. He would be armed with a letter from the Town Clerk (Mr C. S. Bowie) advising him that the council intended to pay its carpenters the hourly rate ruling in the Public Service. This hourly rate would be 8s 4Jd, id more than the union was demanding in Christchurch.
