A.S.R.S. BALLOT.
NO STRIKE IN QUESTION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Jan. 17. Mr. Massey, speaking of the Christchurch telegram regarding the railwaymen’s ballot, said that there was some mistake. The department had no quarrel with the A.S.R.S. He had stated some time ago that in this matter of wages he would consent to the setting up of another wages board commission similar, to that of last year. He understood that this was agreed to and that the whole question would be discussed before it. They had heard nothing of a strike, and did not believe it. Mr. Mack, secretary to the A.S.R.S., says that there is no question of a strike, and what Mr. Massey said about a commission was correct. The members were being asked to vote not on a straight out strike question but as to whether they would support the executive in any ,action it might take, which was purely a precautionary measure.
