CONCILIATION COURT
ENGINEERING DISPUTE. NEGOTIATIONS FAIL.' (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, October 30. No agreement was reached in the Conciliation Council on Saturday in the engineering dispute. Expressing regret that the negotiations had failed for the present, Mr T. A. Bishop, the employers’ advocate, said the only thing for the parties to do was to continue as best they could without an award. In most districts satisfactory agreements had been entered into. Although some trouble had occurred in Wellington the work was there if the men wanted it. When the employees refused to waive the proposal to insert in the new award a clause classifying workers into various sections of the industry, preventing a member of one section doing work under another section the employers claimed that this would raise the manufacturing costs in the Dominion, instancing the vital factor wages played in all standing costs.
