The Timaru Conciliation Board approved amendments to the Threshing Millowners Union and jyorkec Union agreement. Key changes include one of three bagging workers may assist the stockman, and the waterman must tend horses whether the mill runs. The 5 C Millowners Union plans to seek a new award reflecting these changes and to extend them to all threshing machine owners in South Canterbury with a new clause limiting threshing from the stock and compensating wet weather losses.
