The Building Trade.

fcUGGESTED ABOLITION OF

CONCILIATION BOARDS.

United Frees Association—By Eleofcro Telegraph—Copyright Wellington, September 23 A deputation, representing the Feder ated Council of the New Zealand Builders and Contractors' Association, interviewed the Premier on matters affecting the building trade. The Arbitration and Conciliation Aot was the chief bone of contention. The deputation was of opin ion that Conciliation Boards should be done away with, and that all work should be carried out by the Arbitration Court. Thia Court, it was suggested, should eontinne to have a Supreme Courb Jud^e aa President, bub the other members should be representatives of the trades in ( dispute. If, however, ib waa considered that Conciliation Boards should continue to exist, the deputation urged the desir ableness of amending their constitution so that a Stipendary Magistrate should be Chairman, whilst ths other members , should not be paid except by the partiea i to the dispute, Mr Seddon, in promising to consider the matter, said the trovemmenb only desired to deal equitably with all parties. He thought, co far as the workmen were concerned, there should be a maximum of 48 hours per week, and that any other alterations or adjustments should be made by the Court. Mr Seddon also mentioned that it was necessary to pass an Act giving the Minister power where no Union had been formed to bring men into a Union.

When the case of the Brick, Tile, Drain and other Pottery Makers' Union, came before the Conciliation Board today, a representative of employers olaimed that there was no dispute in the trade, as oona of the employers received intimation from the Union till the demands were filed; He therefore asked the Board to rale that there waß no case to go on with. The Board agreed to consider the matter in camera, and give ita decision tomorrow.
