Dominion Special.
Feilding, November 25.
By their passing of a resolution in favour of calling the strike off and recommending to the Hawke’s Bay unionists that the time is inopportune for demanding an increase in wages, the Feilding members of the Slaughtermen’s Union have done something that will most likely have a weakening effect on the strike elsewhere. It was fairly well known before the meeting that the slaughtermen would make determined efforts to subdue the efforts of the peacemakers, ana from what can be learned the proceedings were heated. They were in the minority, however, and the desire of the labourers for work gained the day, but not before, it is reported, the chairman had to use strong measures to restore order. The actual position in regard to the unionists and voluntary butchers is not very clear, but it is hinted that the volunteers have been given to understand that they will be employed at the works for a considerable period.
