AT A STANDSTILL. [|IV TKI.KI.KAI'It. I'KKSS ASSOCIATION.] Auckland, This Day. The whole of the Auckland and suburban drainage scheme is hung up, on account of the men engngud on one of several contracts having struck. The trouble has arisen through one contractor having sub-let a portion of his contract to men who were earning ten shillings a day. The contract specifications prohibited sub-contract-ing, as inimical to their interests. One hundred men are immediately concerned. The whole of the men, about five hundred, engaged on the various drainage contracts, will meet to consider the position.
