HOTEL AND RESTAURANT WORKERS' DISPUTE.
Press Association. —By Telegraph. AUCKLAND, March 31. An agreement on all but one of the points at issue between the Hotel and Restaurant Workers' tTnion (old Union) and the Licensed Houses Workers' Union (new Union) on one hand and the Licensed Victuallers' Association on the other has been arrived at. The new Union has been swamped by members of the old Union, who recently threw out the strike-breaking executive and installed officers who repudiated, on legal grounds, the agreement made with the employers in December and co-operated with the old Union in applying to the Arbitration Court for an award. The employers accepted the position with good grace and conferences were held with the result stated. The Arbitration Court was informed to-day that the only point now in dispute related to the six days' week. Mr, Justice Stringer said the Court intended taking the to the Shops and Offices Act as mandatory, and was introducing a six-day week into all future awards relating to hotel and restaurant workers. This clears the way for a final settlement.
