BOYCOTT ALLEGED
WELLINGTON BUTCHERS’ DISPUTE. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, June 9. An application by the Master Butchers’ Association for a new award to cover workers in the industry in Wellington district came before the Conciliation Council. On behalf of the Workers’ Union it was contended that the preoeedings were not in order, and after a somewhat heated discussion, certain legal points raised were referred to the Arbitration Court for decision.
The employers’ advocate, Mr Mountjoy, alleged that representatives of the Union yesterday went to some hotels and other business premises threatening a boycott unless an agreement was reached at the Conciliation Council to-day. The employers were prepared to enter a new award on fair conditions.
The Union’s advocate, Mr Croskery, denied any suggestion of a boycott.
