LOCOMOTIVE MEN.
A STRIKE NOT, AGREED ON. By Telegraph.—Press Association; Auckland, March. 24. The statement previously wired that the locomotive men in Auckland Aad decided in favor of a strike is not correct. They resolved to request the Grand Council to complete the iballot as quickly as possible, to meet immediately in Wellington to await the result of the ballot, and to take action as indicated by the voting. The Auckland branch has been informed that the association will wait for the Minister's reply for a fortnight. If there is no satisfactory reply to their demands the result of the ballot will be published, and the men will act according to instructions from the Grand Council. MEN READY TO GO OUT. Wellington, Last Night. J. Meachen, chairman of the Wellington branch of the Locomotive Engineers, Firemen, and Cleaners' Association, replying to inquiries, said that the Wellington men hud their minds quite mad* up that they would strike if the Minister refused to grant what they were asking for. "The Wellington men are ready to go out at a moment's notice. In order, however, to minimise the inconvenience to the general police they will, before they go out, give soitv notice of their intention. I beliete uiere is a rumor cm-rent that the Wellington men have made up their minds to cease work on Thursday, but that rumor is not corlect."
