HOTEL EMPLOYEES
CLAIMS FOR DOMINION AWARD. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, November 6. The claims of the New Zealand Federated Hotel and Restaurant Employees’ Industrial Association for a Dominion award came before the Conciliation Council today. In regard to holidays the employees claimed two weeks every twelve months. The employers offered one week’s wags and this constituted the main question. Agreement was reached in regard to wages of chefs, cooks, laundresses, and waiters. Employed casually, pantrymen are to receive 15s for the first three days and thereafter ordinary wages; porters and general hands 15s a day for the first three days and ordinary wages thereafter. The employees asked that overtime be paid at the rate of time and a half for the first three hours, and double time thereafter, while the employers offered time and a half for the first four hours, and double time afterwards.
