WAGE PROVISIONS IN AWARDS
REPRESENTATIONS TO BE MADE FOR AMENDMENT
(United Press Association)
WELLINCTON, April 30.
Arising out of an application by the Federation of Labour to the Court of Arbitration for a fixture for the hearing of a general case for wage increases, in which the Court would be asked to make an order for an immediate and simultaneous increase in all award wages to meet the increased cost of living, a conference between employers’ and manufacturers’ representatives and the federation was held in Wellington last week. The decision of the conference was that representations be made to the Government to introduce legislation empowering the Court to amend the wage provisions of awards, taking into consideration the cost of living and economic circumstances generally, such amendments to be reviewed at not less than six-monthly periods.
