Fire Brigadesmen’s Wages
APPLICATION FOR PROVINCIAL AWARD Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. An assurance that he had no desire to bring volunteer or non-permanent lire brigadesmen under the scope of the award was given by Mr. L. Glover, employees' advocate, during the hearing by the second Court of Arbitration at Wellington to-day, of the application for an award for lire brigades in the Wellington industrial district except for that portion covered by the Wellington Fire Board. -It was urged, however, that where such men received some recompense for their services, such as free rent aud lodgings on lire brigade premises, they were following an occupation whicu was covered by the award and competed for a job with permanent firemen. The issues on which the Court was asked to give its decision were wages, definitions of annual leave and extended leave, reports of officers and the scope and term of the award. The employees' advocate sought wages and conditions of work similar to those in the award for the Wellington city and suburban fire brigades. The employers' advocate contended that the rates should be as in the award for the Palmerston North Fire Brigade. Decision was reserved.
