DAIRY FACTORY WAGES
ATTITUDE OF WORKERS CONCILIATION PROCEEDINGS (By Telegraph.—Special to Times) WELLINGTON, Thursday With reference to the statement; by the Minister of Labour, the Hon. P. C. Webb, that both the New Zealand Dairy Factory Workers’ Union and the employers had agreed to a fresh meeting of the Conciliation Council on Tuesday in an attempt to remove the present difficulties, members of the executive of the union said today that the conference yesterday was called at the earnest request of the Minister and did not in any way “wash out” the direct action ballot now being taken, the papers being returnable by November 30. Mr Robertson, secretary of the Auckland branch of the Factoiy Workers’ Union, said: “The present position is very grave and it is to be hoped that the Conciliation Council on Tuesday, asked for by the Minister, will resolve the serious difficulties that face the industry at the present time. I would urge my members to await the outcome of these fresh negotiations, which will be made known at the earliest possible moment.”
