At a Low Ebb.
Speaking in the Arbitration (. ourt last week on the demand made by the Wellington branch of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers for a new award, Mr.' Allen (employers’ representative) said there was no other trade which had so much foreign competition as the engineers’ trade. The foundries were, in fact, becoming mere repair shops, and manufacturing was ceasing.. The industry’ was in a serious condition, and employers could not stand any additional burdens. David Robertson, ironfounder, dee’ar ed that the state of ton trade had never been at such a low ebb as at present. Further hearing of the case will be heard at Napier.
