APPRENTICES’ WAGES
AWARD IN PRINTING TRADE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, April 11. The Arbitration Court has refused to make an order applied for by the We - lington and Wairarapa Master Printers for an amendment of the rates of wages as fixed by the Wellington district, except the Wanganui district printing apprenticeship order. Employees asked that the scale be the same as that fixed for the northern district. Mr. Justice Frazer said that the rates set out in that scale were approximately five per cent, lower than those now auth orised for the Wellington district. The rates for Otago and Southland were the same as for the Wellington district. . The terms of the new award for journeymen incx’eased wages approximately five per cent. If the court were to make the amendment applied for the rates for apprentices would be relatively less than those of the workers who would come under the new award, whereas, if rates now current for apprentices were maintained, the ratio o apprentices’ rates to journeymen s rajes would be as it was at the time the apprenticeship order was made.
