PLUMBERS' DISPUTE
MATTERS FOR COURT
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day. Since neither party was prepared to embarrass its case for the Arbitration Court, the wages, hours of work, and overtime clauses in the plumbers' dispute, which was argued before the Conciliation Commissioner, Mr. M. J. Heardon, at Auckland yesterday, were not discussed, and were referred to the Court. Only partial agreement could be reached on the machinery clauses.
During the hearing the agent for the employers, Mr. W. E. Anderson, objected to a remark by the Commissioner about the employers' wages offer. Later he suggested that Mr. Reardon was acting as advocate for the workers.
% The Commissioner replied that he was only making suggestions. If they were not acceptable they were not acceptable, and there they ended.
