PETROL WAGON DRIVERS. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, June 28. The petrol wagon drivers, - who agreed to a settlement of the strike on Staturday evening, returned to work to-day, service stations and other users of petrol eagerly seeking fresh supplies. A statement issued on behalf of the men by the secretary of the Auckland Drivers’ Union (Mr L. G. Matthews) stresses the. fact that the men expect to receive not less than a 40-ltour week and payment for meal-time when they are compelled to remain in their vehicles on the road. Mr Matthews said that the men did not desire at any time to cripple the industry. “We wish to state emphatically,” he said, “that our action was a definite protest against the oil companies, whose head offices are in Wellington, and not against the Labour -Government, in whom we place the fullest confidence. We are asking only I for what is provided in our award.”
