THE MINIMUM WAGE.
SUGGESTED INCREASE. [by telegraph.— association.] WELLINGTON. Saturday. The Wellington Trades and Labour Council has decided to take advantage of the builders and general labourers' dispute, if it goes to the Arbitration Court after the conciliation sitting on Monday, to argue in favour of an increase in the minimum wage for unskilled labour. It is understood that the Court's bookings are already full for the next locai sittings, in which event the case would not be considered until early in the New Year, by which time tho Court's power to vary wages according to fluctuations in tho cost of Jiving will have expired.
