THE SUGAR STRIKE.

SUPPLY FOR SOUTH ISLAND. COURT TO VISIT WORKS. ! Bj Telegraph.—Pteis Aisoclatlon. Auckland, Last Night. : As a result of a. conference at tlio Board of Trade rooms this morning, between representatives of the transport workers and the Board of -Trade, arrangements were made for sending south 300 tons of raw sugar brought from the Islands by the Atua. This amount will, be evenly distributed between Lytteltou, Oamaru, Timaru, and the Bluff, and the balance of the ship-, ment, some 100 tons, will bo seat to Wellington bj- the Navua. The most satisfactory of the latest developments in the sugar workers' dispute is the decision of the Arbitration Court to inspect , the Chelsea sugar works on Saturday, notwithstanding the fact that the workers would not be operating. This decision was come to at a sitting of the Arbitration Court this morning, Mr. Justice Stringer preniding at the proceedings! Mr. Wright, for the employers, suggested that as the promise of the Oourt to view the works in operation wttl hardly possible- of fulfilment, the worßs might be inspected as they stood, Evidence could be taken from both ftidta as to the operations usually conducted that would probably tend to a, settlement. His Honor said that he and his colleagues were inclined td fall in with that suggestion. He did not know that it would be necessary to take; .formal evidence. The union should be invited "to send its secretary and two employees, and the company might have the foreman of each department present.' It was decided that the party should leave by launch on Saturday rtormngi
