SHARE-MILKERS
WELLINGTON CONFERENCE. A large deputation of sharemilkers representing Auckland, Wellington and Taranaki, introduced by the Hon. T. Brindle, and led by Mr C. Gough, waited on the acting Minister of Labour, the Hon. P. C. Webb, at Wellington yesterday, requesting the early calling of a conference of employers and sharemilkers with a view to reaching standard agreements throughout New Zealand. ■ The Minister gave a very favourable reply, stating that he had no idea the present conditions of employment for sharemilkers were so bad. The dept nat ion met in conference, which sat for two days, and finally resolved to form a New Zealand Sharemilkers’ Association pending promised legislation which will give them standing under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration A.ct as an industrial union. Officers were elected and organisers appointed for each district. Mr C. Gough was elected honorary national secretary. Claims were drawn up providing for two standard agreements throughout New Zealand, and rules were adopted for the newly formed association. The organisers will begin duties in their districts immediately.
