WORK AND WAGES.
After the telegraph office closed this morning Sir J. G. Ward read a table he received from Mr Pilcher at Cape Town in reply to inquiries as to the state of the labor market in South Africa. The message stated that a demand exists for skilled artisans in the following trades:—Carpenters, tinsmiths, coach and waggonraakers, bodymakers, coach painters, wheelwrights, saddlers, harnessmakers, cutlers, fitters, and tai'ors. Mr Pilcher added that the present high wages would decline as the supply increased.
Two candidates were proposed for the chairmanship of the Auckland Conciliation Board yesterday—viz., the Rev. George Burgess and Mr J. Blades (solicitor). The members of the Board were equally divided as to whether they would have a lawyer or a clergyman as their head, and it will now devolve upon the Governor to make an appointment.
