THE STOCKTON DISPUTE.
FINDING OF ARBITRATOR. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN APPROVE!*, (P* Unm Puss Amooiupoit.).; _ .-WESTPORT, November SB, _ Tfi* following i» the decision of Mr O. D. Betts, the independent chairmen apjointed- in the Stockton- dispute:- ■>' ,_My finding is that the management seeks to improve the output by putting on extra or extended shifts on . Wet places, the object being to improve the output so u to enable the coal to lie produced for the locomotives earlier «d ■ tne dayshut, and also to employ the truckers for the full eight hoursT In the circumstances I think the .management IS justified. I would 'recommend - the men concerned and the management to oo> operate - ,to the very fullest extent for their, mutual benefit and the successful working of the mins. I. might also point out that the Buller Progress League has done Its, level best in bring to bring in 1 the use of New .Zealand coal only, and also in, inducing bunkering trade? for .this port with e&me. measure uf . suebees. iDhe railways are, now ,using 100 per .oeat. nt New Zealand coal, and if there is not some measure "of continuity of supplies 18 to go elsewhere, to 1 tne detriment of. the mining community. On the) evidence produced, I therefor* recommend that the miners should give effect to the proposals of the maUaagement. ■, - •
