JOCKEYS AND OWNERS.
DEADLOCK CONTINUES.
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Last Night
|A conference was held this afternoon, under the chairmanship of Mr P. Halley, and under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, between the executive of the New Zealand Jockeys' Association (represented by Messrs Sheath, Davies and Rae) and the racehorse owners of New Zealand (represented by Sir G. Clifford, Messrs J. S. McLeod and R. Hannah. No agreement was arrived at, the racehorse owners claiming - that the Association did nqt represent the jockeys of New Zealand, and that even if they did so, it would be impossible, in the interests of owners, trainers, jockeys and the public, to submit to the dictation of any one section of racing- interests, especially when organised by outsiders. The owners, however, expressed their willingness to receive suggestions on all matters connected with racing from individual jockeys, or others connected with the sport, stating that this course had already been taken in respect to proposed legislation by the forthcoming meeting of the New Zealand Racing Conference.
