Per Presa Association. CiiEisTCHUjttcir, Slareh 16,
Now that the strike has ended, very large quantities of stock will from Monday onwards be forwarded to the Belfast and Islington Freezing Works, and the factories will be kept very busy for soma time to come. The Canterbury Frozen Bleat Company, proprietors of the Belfast Works, have ■ been advised that 50,000 sheep will bo delivered at the works almost immediately. There is a general feeling of satisfaction in the city that the trouble with the slaughtermen lias been settled. The men ceased work on February 26th, nearly three weeks ago. The men counting loss of wages and fines for striking have lost about £2O each. The men are either paying the fines or making arrangements to pay by instalments of £1 a week and will start work on Monday morning.
