THE BURNSIDE TROUBLE.
AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT. NO GENERAL STRIKE LIKELY. (Press Association.) DUNEDIN, May 9. Tlio Burnside trouble, which only concerned seven or eight men employed in the freezing chamber, has been amicably settled. The representative of the Christchurch Meat-Com-pany interviewed the men, and agreed to pay Is 3d and ls 5d overtime, instead of ls lid. The higher rates are those granted under the award made this year in the North. The men hero are not working under any award of tho Arbitration Act, but the company, on ascertaining that higher rates were paid elsewhere, agreed to the men’s demand. As far as can be ascertained, there was no idea- among the men of a general strike.
