WELLINGTON, February 15. The question of the local brokers making a daily call of mining stocks is under consideration. having been relegated to a committee of Ihe Exchange. The following lively discussion took place at the meeting of the Conciliation Board during the hearing of the coachmaker.s’ dispute : —Mr Hurreil (employers’ representative) said that whilst an eight-hour day was New Zealand's boast, a ten-hour day was the rule in his trade in the rest of the world. By means of the ten-hour day America had a big advantage over this colony’s manufacturers. Mr Collins: The indenture of today is a tyranny to the apprentice. Mr Hurrell : I and the people 1 represent believe that it is better for both boys and masters that apprentices .should not ho indentured. Mr Coffins: I am surprised to find that employers are not as up-to-date in our labor laws as are labor unions. Mr Hurrell; Masters have got more to do with their time than to put it in in reading Acts. The dairy industry has done more, for the coiichmakcrs’ trade in New Zealand than any other thing. The expansion of the industry has meant the making of thousands of vehicles.
