THE SLAUGHTERMEN'S STRIKE.
By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, February 19. The mutton butchers resumed work at the Wellington Meat Export Company's works at Ngahauranga yesterday. At a conference of the directorate it was decided to grant the concession already agreed to by the Gear Company, and the men started work on that basis yesterday morning. Work is now being carried on as usual. A new agreement has been drawn up and will probably be signed by the slaughtermen and freezing companies in a few days. In this it is provided, the men explain, that 23s per hundred shall be paid for killing; two shillings an hour will be paid for waiting, time; .work performed on Saturday from 12 o'clock until 4 p.m. will be paid at the rate of time and a quarter. Otherwise the agreement is very much the same as the award which recently expired.
