PARTIAL STRIKE OF BARMAIDS.
Curhus situation In Nelson.
A curious and amusing partial strike of barmaids has occurred in the Nelson hotels, owing to the manifesto by the three local brewers promising to prohibit the employment of barmaids in their tied houses as a condition of future leases. The girls were very indignant, and did their best to dissuade people from drinking local beer. Consequently less local beer was consumed in the day than for many years past. In one free house, the landlady cut off the pipes from the casks of local beer, cancelled orders for aerated waters and cordials from a local brewer, and drew only a Southern ale. The ■ position is less acute now, but ' v ' s the semi-boycott of local beer continues in a mild form. The noliceuse campaign completely overshadows the Parliamentary elections and the candidates.
