FREEZING DISPUTE.
SPEEDY SETTLEMENT EXPECTED. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Aug. 28. It is hoped that a speedy settlement of the dispute at the AVestfield freezing works over the size of the workers’ lockers will be effected as a result of the decision of a meeting of the Freezing Companies Association in Wellington. The question of the size of the lockers was the main point at issue when about 600 employees . ceased work on August 19. The dispute had previously been set down for hearing by the Arbitration Court on October 6, but as the result of the strike members of the Court made an inspection of the works. Subsequently the Court heard the representatives of both employers and workers in chambers, but it is stated that this action was not in substitution of the scheduled hearing. The award under which the interpretation concerning the size of the lockers is sought covers most of the freezing works in the Dominion, so that the Dominion organisations representatives of both workers and employers have been moving toward obtaining a solution of the difficulty by agreement.
