Conciliation Council
EMPLOYERS’ ASSESSORS ABSENT Per Press Association AUCKLAND, Last Night. No assessors for the employers appeared at the Conciliation Council, which this morning was to consider the biscuit and confectionery workers’ dispute and their non-appearance was the subject of a strong protest by the union representatives. The Commissioner is to try to secure the attendance of the employers’ assessors to-morrow. The secretary of the Employers’ Association raised the technical point that no dispute existed, but the unionists assented that this objection was not genuine and that the employers had promised to facilitate the securing ot an award and that the employers had sparred for time until the Tariff Commission left Auckland.
Mr. Wright, for the employers, said they very strongly objected to being bound by an award if some other centres wore not.
There was au acrimonious discussion before the Commissioner suggested that lie should try to arrange for the attendance of the employers ’ assessors.
