HOTEL SERVANTS.

The hotelkeepers of Wellington, sitting in conference recently, discussed the recent recommendations of the Conciliation Board with reference to cooks and waiters in hotels, and passed resolutions affirming that the recommendations were impracticable in some particulars,. and offered a premium for constant friction between employers and employed, with results diametrically opposed to the purposes of conciliation; that every effort should be made to obtain the consent of the union to the removal of such anomalies, in order that employers may be able to carry out the terms of the agreement forced upon them ; and that the union be asked to agree to certain stated modifications or situations as to hours of work, holidays, etc. It was suggested that delegates of the union should confer with emp’oyers’ delegates this week.
