HOTEL WORK CONDITIONS [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, February 17. As the result of a conference at Wellington last week between the representatives of the Hotel Workers’ Federation and the National Council of the licensed trade in New Zealand and the Licensed Victuallers’ Association, barmen, barmaids, cellarmen, bottle store hands, male general hands, and day porters in the Auckland hotels may from Monday next elect to sleep and eat off their employers’ premises, in which case they will receive the full “ dry wage,” the ordinary award wage plus 30s for board and lodging allowance. The arrangement is to operate in hotels within a radius of 10 miles from the Chief Post Office. A similar arrangement will come into force in other metropolitan areas on April 2, and the general position of country districts will be dealt with when the award next conies up for consideration in a few weeks’ time..
