GREYMOUTH
This day. The quarrymen engaged on the public works received notice from the Government this morning that their wages would be reduced ten per cent, for the present month's work. They immediately struck, contending that the reduction should not be retrospective. The feeling is in favor of the workmen, whose present wages are 9s and 10s per day, but they have a large number of broken days through bad weather.
