THE SUGAR STRIKE.
MEN STILL UNEMPLOYED. By Teleeraph.—rtess Association. Auckland, Last Night Despite several developments s:nce Saturday in tho sugar works dispute, the men have not yet been re-instated, and they are now interesting themselves in securing payment until such time as they return to work. They offered themselves in a body for work this morning, but had to content themselves with the knowledge that there will be no victimisation, and that they will be re-instated withopt exception. No forecast as to when they are likely to be re-employed, howerer, was made. The Union secretary (Mr. J. Purtell) this morning sent a telegram to the President of the Board of Trade (the Hon. E. P. Lee) suggesting that the men should be paid full or part wages from this mornftig until they are able to return to work. "If 'I can assure the men that they will he paid," continued the message, "they will not seek other employment."
