AWARDS LAPSING
Engineers & Mechanics CONCILIATION FAILS Dispute Over Wages Awards affecting a substantial section of the engineering Industry wIU be cancelled next month as a result of failure of the employers and workers to come to agreements in Conciliation Council proceedings. This termination of awards is in accordance with the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act passed during last session of Parliament.' . Final Conciliation Council proceedings were heard yesterday by the Commissioner, Mr. P. Hally, in respect to the dispute affecting the motor mechanics section of the Dominion Engineers’ Award. The assessors for the employers were Messrs. J. E. Cousins, S. Ferguson, J. Cadman, J. Black, G. Broun, and A. Dingle, and the workers were represented by Messrs. A. Black, G. Thurston, T. Bonnett, A. Rice, W. Crome and G. Fleming.
The parties originally met a fortnight ago when a tentative agreement was suggested and it was generally considered that the difficulty In respect to workers in the motor construction Industry would be overcome. At yesterday’s meeting the parties were unable to agree on the rates of wages. The next procedure is for the Conciliation Commissioner to notify the Clerk of Awards of the failure to agree, and the award will automatically lapse after 30 days. Notice was given to the Clerk of Awards a week ago of the failure of a settlement between the employers and the Amalgamated Engineering and Allied Trades Association of Workers. A notice has now been gazetted regarding the cancellation of the Engineers, Moulders, Boilermakers, Iron Ship, and Bridge Builders’ Award. This award affects the Northern, Taranaki, Wellington, Nelson, Canterbury, Otago and Southland workers. The award was made in July, 1929, and it will cease to operate in about three weeks’ time. The waterside workers’ dispute is in the final stages, and it is hoped that finality will be reached at a meeting before the Conciliation Commissioner this afternoon.
