DRIVERS' DISPUTE
-. THE SECOND CONFERENCE. (Pee United Pbess Association.) WELLINGTON, January 23. Considerable interest attaches to the second conference in reverence to the drivers' dispute, which opened in Wellington to-day. Those present represent employers and drivers' unions from all over Now Zealand. The men are asking for substantial increases in wages and much improved conditions of work. The first conference in November last proved abortive. The employers offered to increase the wages, but were disinclined to alter any of the existing conditions. The offer was placed before the individual unions and was rejected. The dispute was then referred to the Transport Workers' Federation, at whose suggestion a second conference was convened. The proceedings are in camera.
