WORK AND WAGES.
EMPLOYERS’ IDEAS. [Per Press Association.! ( MELBOURNE, March 25. At the annual meeting of the Employers’ Union the report deplored the fact that the Tracies Hall had dropped the idea of strikes, and was now going in for factory legislation, curtailing the hours of labour, fixing minimum wage rates, and to so increase wages as to make this a working man’s paradise. It behoved the employers to make strenuous efforts to prevent the Labour Party having its own way in this matter. The proposed compulsory arbitration was strongly condemned. THE CARPENTERING 'TRADE. The Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners and the Canterbury Carpenters and Joiners’ Association lodged : the necessary papers with the Registrar at the Supreme Court yesterday, referring the questions of an advance in wages and amendments to the present •working rules of the trade, to the Board of Conciliation. Messrs A. F. Talbot and J. Wass have been appointed conjointly by tbe' two unions to conduct tins case for the operatives.
