LITTLE FRESH TO REPORT
WORK PROCEEDING IN HAWKES BAY. HASTINGS. 7th February. There is little fresh to report as far as the local works are concerned. The work is. proceeding at a satisfactory rate, and the new slaughtermen are becoming more 'expert, the result being that the tallies are improving daily. Twelve men got through* 200 sheep at'Paki Paid yesterday, and it was estimated that 200 will be put through again to-day. A minimum wage of 10s per day is being paid until the men are able to record better tallies. Applications are still coming in from all over the district. Twenty-eight hooks were occupied at Tomoana yesterday, and, the work continued at a very satisfactory pace. Thirty butchers were on the board this morning, including one or two who have been " top-notchers " in their time. Another of the strikers resumed work this morning. Most of the strikers have taken employment in the surrounding district at harvesting, or any work which they were able to obtain. They are still confident that the companies will give way.
