NAVVIES' DISPUTE.

Per Press Association. WANGANUI, April 13. The Conciliation Board sat this morning to hear the general labourers' dispute as affecting local bodies and contractors.

The chairman said that no matter whether the dispute , affected local contractors, it originated in the Wellington. Industrial District, and therefore had to be heard as affecting tho, whple district. Several workers' representatives also gave evidence. The Board will sit at other centres.
