WAGES IN DISPUTE
BOROUGH COUNCIL EMPLOYEES (By Telegr-ph.—Press Association) WAIHI, Thursday Whether five men who had been employed by the Waihi Borough Council under scheme thirteen on building stone walls were entitled to be paid wages at rates provided under the New Zealand stone masons’ award was a point Mr W. H. Freeman, S.M., was called upon to decide in the Waihi Magistrate’s Court. Proceedings were taken against the council to recover more than £IOO as the balance between the amounts paid the men and that payable under the stone masons’ award. There was also a claim from the council for a penalty of £5 in respect of each man for an alleged breach of the northern industrial district borough councils’ award, in that the council failed to pay employees on work covered by another award the rate fixed by such award. Decision was reserved.
