'Up -till the end of last March the men were working under a private agreement with the council, and since the agreement has expired, the union has 1 asked for a fresh agreement emimUyihg new rates of wages and conditions. The eouncil’s reply was a refusal ta enter into a new private agreement stating that it was prepared to pay the same weekly wage as was being paid under the old agreement, viz., £5 12s, plus 3s bonus, but somewhat altering the conditions, which would have the effect of giving each stoker a day oft per week, but would increase the nourM worked from 42 to 48. The stokers have so far refused td accept the terms, and the council Baa therefore given them seven days’ notice and is advertising for fresh labor.
