By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, November 22.
A dispute between federated stone masons and employers was the subject of a Conciliation Council meeting held at Wellington to-day, Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago employers maintained it was unfair they should be cited for an award, while other industrial districts, in particular Taranaki and Nelson, went free. It' was stated by the employers, who held that such an award would militate against their business, that they were already suffering from considerable competition from those districts. They suggested that the. question of an award .be held over until the employees could bring in the whole of the Dominion. , •
After retiring to discuss the question-: the employees’ assessors decided to proceed in the hope of reaching an agreement and to try to persuade Taranaki 1 to co-operate later on. . ’ <
