Manure Workers’ Hold-Up
[Special to "Northern Advocate ”l AUCKLAND, This Day.
After the cancellation of the registration of the Otahuhu Chemical Workers’ Union under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, as a result of legislation passed by Parliament this week, employers’ and workers’ interests held a conference yesterday afternoon under the Labour Disputes Investigation Act. The discussion lasted an hour and ahalf, no agreement being reached on the matters in dispute which caused the strike at the chemical manure works at Otahuhu, Westfield and Te Papapa. The conference agreed, however, to set up a Labour Disputes Committee, under the provisions of the Act. On the appointment of a chairman, the parties are prepared that the committee should meet this afternoon or to-morrow in order to deal with the dispute, it being felt that no time should be lost in endeavouring to reconcile the differences that exist.
