FIREMEN'S DISPUTE
CLAIMS FOR EXEMPTION CASE OF VOLUNTEERS
(By Telegrapn.—Pre3s Association) WELLINGTON, Friday The terms of employment for fire brigadesmen in the Wellington Industrial district excluding Wellington City, were considered in the Conciliation Council to-day. The dispute involves fire brigades as far north as Wairoa on the East Coast and Wanganui on the West Coast. Of some 32 parties listed the employers objected to approximately all but two, on the ground that the brigades to which objection was made had volunteer men In their ranks. Mr L. Glover said it was not in- - to cover volunteer firemen, but when pressed he gave no definite assurance as to the union's action in connection with the men who, though volunteers, received certain cash sums, including sums for clothing replacement. No decision was reached regarding exemptions in the meantime.
