COMPLAINTS OF DRAY.
FREEZING WORKERS 9 DISPUTE. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, November 1* During the resumed hearing of the freezing workers’ dispute at the Arbitration Court the employers complained of the union’s attitude in causing delay. All North Island works should open in the next two or three weeks, but they could not open the {season under the present rates of pay. If the union officials did not agree to eliminate unnecessary hearings the companies would withhold the bonus, payment of which should have ceased on August 31, and start operations on the basis of the 1919 award.
The union representatives denied that they wero delaying proceedings. Mr Justice Fraser said the Court would feel more satisfied if it heard evidence in Canterbury before making a North Island award. That would make a difference of only a week or two. The temporary withholding of the bonus was a matter for the employers. It might only create friction. The hearing then proceeded.
