CONFERENCE IN WELLINGTON, ORIGIN OF THE DISPUTES. [lit TF.T.KORAPII. —PRESS ASSOCIATION. ] WELI JNGTO N. Thursday. A conference is sitting in Wellington to consider tho watersido disputes at Lyttelton. Some months ago the cmplovers agreed to advance the, rates of liav of tho wntersirlo workers by lid an hour, on condition that they should work on Saturday afternoons. Tho matter was referred to a ballot of tho waterside unions throughout New Zealand and all agreed to accept tlyo condition with the exception of that at Lyttelton.

Proposals were submitted by representatives of tho men, but there is no information yet as to tho result.
