WICKER WORKERS’ DISPUTE
COMPLETE AGREEMENT REACHED (United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, March 4. Complete agreement was reached in the Dominion wicker workers’ dispute at the second day of the hearing in the Conciliation Council before Mr M. J. Reardon today. A forty-hour week was agreed to and the wages, which were the principal point of difference between the parties, were fixed at 2/5J an hour. It was agreed that the 40 hours should be worked between 7.45 a.m. and 5.0 p.m. from Monday to Friday. The provisions of the award will not apply to the manufacture of women’s handbags and small workbaskets. This clause was inserted after representations had been made on behalf of the New Zealand Missionary College at Longburn, where wicker work is done.
