MACHINERY CLAUSES ONLY
WAGES AN* HOURS GO TO COURT [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, August 24. An agreement on most of the machinery clauses was reached to-day by the Conciliation Council, which concluded its discussions on the terms of the proposed award for coachbuilders and motor bodybuilders, but the principal issues—hours, wages, the employment of females, junior helpers, and improvers, and the conditions of lead buff workers and arc welders—will be argued before the Court of Arbitration. It was agreed that the award should apply to the whole of the Dominion except Otago and Southland and Marlborough, and that it should continue for one year from the time it was made. Mr P. B; Page and other workers’ assessors made a'plea for extra pay for lead buff workers until it became possible to eliminate from their work the danger of lead poisoning.
