TAILORESSES’ WAGES.
Court Asked to Make Award in Auckland. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, April 16. The Arbitration Court reserved decision after hearing argument on an application by South Island employees to have 25 Auckland white work manufacturers and the Auckland Tailoresses’ Union bound by southern awards. The union advocates alleged that some Auckland manufacturers were competing unfairly by paying lower wages and the employment of girls, and though some had not lowered wages others had. The employers denied unfair competition, and said that an order fixing wages on the southern basis would be welcomed if the union would cease its insistence on the apprenticeship conditions, which now were inapplicable.
