THE OTIRA WORKERS
W ON STRTCE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. The Otira correspondent of the Press telegraphed at 5 o'clock this afternoon as follows: "The four o'clock shift refused to go into the tunnel this afternoon. It seems that at a meeting of the local union last night a deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr. McLean to discuss some matters pertaining to the work. One of the deputation was Mr. Armstrong, who is not employed by Mr. McLean, and the latter refused to discuss matters with any people who wore not his employees. At 4 o'clock the men, some forty-eight of them, took their carbide and prepared to go to work, but, instead, they went to the tunnel hall to a meeting, where Mr. McLean met them and repeated what he had already told the men. At present the work at the tunnel is at a standstill, and the men arc discussing the situation."
