After the men had recorded a vote in favour of acceptance of the Mount Lyell Company’s proposals, the executive of the combined unions met and decided that the proposals were . not acceptable, on the grounds that any alteration in wage tuid working conditions should be decided by the court. The executive offered to waive all preliminary technical objections, and to co-operate with the directors in immediately approaching the court.
