MINIMUM WAGE OF SEAMEN.
MR. TRECEAR'S VIEWS.
[lIY TELEGRAPH. — PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Wellington, Monday. Speaking at the send-off luncheon to Mr. Belcher, the sea men's delegate to the Maritime Conference in London, Mr. Tregear, secretary of the Labour Department, in referring to the disappointment recently suffered by the two branches of the seafaring world, said that, without wishing to in any way appear to be blaming the Arbitration Court he had very great sympathy with the men in one or two directions. He added that there would have to lie definite instructions given by the Legislature, by which it should make .sure that the Act, provided some direction, making it clear on what, basis the minimum wage or any other wage was to be computed. If there was to be no profit-sharing on what basis was it to tot Be had not the slightest doubt that Parliament would soon have the- mater preranted to it in a manner which would amuse the deepest interest, and the matter, must be made clear.
