WAS IT A STRIKE?

FREEZING WORKERS’ ACTION. INTERESTING POINT RAISED By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hastings, Last Night. Considerable interest was taken in court proceedings against twelve freezing employees from the Hastings works for being parties to a strike regarding the 5s cut. Tn the case of five of the defendants Mr. P. J. O’Regan claimed it was the employers who gave notice of the reduction in wages by posting a notice up at their works, and the men declined to accept the terms under what was a new contract. The men continued to work up to the end of the old contract, which the employers terminated in the notice, and the men were entitled to decide whether to enter the new contract or not. The men did not strike* The Magistrate (Mr. Dwyer) said that in view of the fact that the cases were of Dominion interest it would be better to get a final decision, so he would state a case for the Arbitration Court. In the case of the remainder of the defendants Mr. O’Regan admitted they were parties to a strike under palliating circumstances. The Magistrate said he did not propose to give judgment for the £lO claimed, but the cases called for more than nominal penalty and judgment was entered against each defendant £5 and costs.
