HYDROELECTRIC WORKERS.
DISSATISFACTION AT RETRENCHMENT. STRIKE BALLOTS HELD. ✓ By Telegraph.—Pres* Association. Palmerston N., Last Night. * Dissatisfaction with the rates of pay retrenchment was expressed this morning by the employees on the hydro-electric scheme at Mangahao, when the men at Mangahao and Arapiti camps held a combined stop-work meeting, and in the afternoon held a strike ballot. The result has not been announced, but it is believed the outside workers formerly receiving 15s and now 14s a day will accept the new conditions. The tunnellers’ attitude is
more truculent. The men at the Mangaone camp, the nearest to Shannon, hold a meeting and ballot to-morrow morning.
