WAREHOUSE CLERKS
GUILD AND EMPLOYERS. SECRET BALLOT TO BE TAKEN. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, May 9. The warehouse clerks’ dispute came before the Conciliation Council to-day. The employers contended that an award was unnecessary, as the employees had a guild, which was in complete accord with the employers. For the union, it was stated that the guild was not empowered to originate an industrial dispute, in consequence of which it was desirable that an award, and authorised union, should be set up. At present, the guild, having no standing, could only make a claim through a union. The secretary of the union said it was prepared to take a secret ballot on the question of warehouse clerks joining up. If it was desired by the guild that the proceedings should, be dropped, this #ould be done, and the present arrangement with employers continue. This course was agreed to.
