NO AGREEMENT REACHED
CEMENT WORKERS" DISPUTE
t Special to “ Northern, Advocate /’I AUCKLAND, This Day.
An hour’s discussion before Mr R. E. Price in Conciliation Council yesterday was sufficient to show that agreement could not be reached between cement workers and their employers, a nd the major questions of hours and wages were deferred for the judgment of the Arbitration Court.
Discussion hinged for the most part on working conditions for burnt lime workers and men required to repair kilns and furnaces when the interiors were still hot. Extra pay was demanded in both cases. Mr W. E. Anderson, secretary of the Employers Association, pointed out that it would be of little avail to discuss extra pay until the main wages dispute had been settled.
Among the machinery clauses fixed was one that wages should henceforth be paid on Thursday, except where mutual agreements existed in country for other times.
