DISGUST AT TIMARU STRIKE
FARMERS WILL WORK THE BOATS. (By Telegraph— I'rcss Association.) Timaru, December 7. The District Executive of the Farmers' Union to-day eipressed great disgust at the action of the wharf workers in striking for so trivial a reason as an objection to two railway men. Members said that, from what had been heard in the country, there would be no difficulty in getting men to come to town to work the boats. Members themselves—mostly elderly well-to-do farmers—said that they would come themselves rather than see the union win on such grounds. The executive decided to invite applications from tho farmers' sons to work the port until the unionists resume.
