SPEEDY SETTLEMENT HOPED FOR
DISPUTE AT WESTFIELD FREEZING WORKS (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, August 28. It is hoped that a speedy settlement of the dispute at the Westfield freezing works about the size of the workers’ lockers will be effected as a result of the decision of a meeting of. the Freezing Companies’ Association in Wellington. The question of the size of the lockers was the main point at issue when about 600 employees ceased work on August 19. The dispute had previously been set down for hearing by the Arbitration Court on October 6, but as a result of the strike, members of the Court made an inspection of the works. Subsequently, the Court heard representatives of both the employers and the workers in chambers, but it is stated that this action was not in actual substitution of the scheduled hearing of. the award, under which an interpretation concerning the size of the lockers is sought. It covers most of the freezing works in the Dominion, so that Dominion organizations, representative of both the workers and employers, have ■ been moving toward obtaining a solution of the difficulty by agreement.
