WAGES IN DISPUTE.
Mill Hands Agree on All Other Clauses. Agreement is all clauses except that of wages was reached in a dispute heard in the Conciliation Council yesterday between parties to the North Canterbury Threshing Mills Employees’ Award. The Conciliation Commissioner, Mr S. Ritchie, reported afterwards that proceedings throughout had been conducted with good feeling and that both sides had freely expressed their desire for a satisfactory agreement. After an unofficial discussion between the assessors of both parties on the subject of wages the employers’-assessors had come back to the chamber with an increased offer. The employees’ assessors had undertaken to report the new offer to the general body of workers and to notify their acceptance or otherwise on August 31. The employers were represented by Messrs F. Lill, J. Curragh, H. Talbot and L. L. Gillespie, and the employees by Messrs C. E. Baldwin, A. J. Hamilton and A. Pike.
