SLAUGHTERMEN'S DISPUTE.
TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. GISBORNE, January 17. The agreement arrived at in the slaughtermen’s dispute is for five years. The employers concede the rate of pay demanded in the case of sheep and lambs. The rates for beef are not varied, while in regard to the conditions of killing, which vary materially in different factories, these are brought into line. The two most vexed questions dealt with were the provisions for learners and the questions of preference to unionists. Satisfactory provision was made for learners being taught and for the rate of pay for instructors. There is to be one learner for 10 slaughtermen. A standard of competency was also_ fixed. As regards preference to unionists, whilst this is conceded, the rules of the federation are to give an open door to all
workers of rood conduct and who are not indebted to any kindred union.
