SHEARERS' AWARD
APPLIES TO ALL DISTRICTS. MR GRAYNDLER'S STATEMENT AN AUTHORITATIVE REPUTATION By Telegraph.—Press Association. WELLINGTON, Tuesday. In connection with the statement of Mr Grandyler, the secretary of Hie Workers' Union, to the effect that the shearers' award applies to the Wellington district only, the Labour Department states that this is incorrect. The award applies to northern Taranaki, Wellington, Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago, and the Southland districts. The rase was heard throughout the country, Mr Grayndler representing the unions, and at the request of both parties it was decided to make uniform awards. This was done and the awards are now in force. In all the districts mentioned the old award has been completely superseded by the new one, and any shcepowner not bound to the new award 'is not bound to any award.
