OBJECTION TO COMMISSIONER’S REMARK.
PLUMBERS’ DISPUTE INCIDENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Last Night. Since neither party was prepared to embarrass its case for Arbitration, the wages, hours of work and overtime clauses in the plumbers’ dispute, which was argued before the Conciliation Commissioner, Mr M. J. Reardon, in Auckland, were not discussed and were referred to the Court. Only partial agreement could be reached on the machinery clauses. During the heaxing 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 an 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.
