NO WORK
REFUSAL BY STRIKERS
MASS MEETING DECISION
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, May 10.
All the relief workers in the city, so far as can be ascertained, are out on strike, as a result of a mass meeting held yesterday, and adjourned until to-day. •
A large section of the meeting this morning was evidently averse to a strike, having made their gesture, but more heated arguments carried me day. The announcement by the Unemployment Board that the new scheme would stand, no doubt helped the strike emissaries to the gangs this morning. A mass meeting is in pa-ogress this afternoon, the intention being to organise a large procession to Parliament. . .
Delegates have gone to all jobs to bring in the men who were at work this morning. An appeal has been made to all relief workers to bring their wives and children with them to the meeting, in order to make a worth while demonstration to Parliament. The meeting this morning commenced with some hundreds, but swelled 1 to couple of. thousand.
