THE SLAUGHTERMEN'S STRIKE.
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, March 11. . As far as can be ascertained no reply has yet been given by the Auckland employers to the demands of the newly-formed Slaughtermen's Union. The log will be considered by a committee early this week, and the recommendations framed will in all probability be submitted to a general meeting of the association.
There is no award in existence in Auckland, so that if thegmen refuse to work after to-day there can be no punishment through the Arbitration Court. There are between sixty-five and seventy slaughtermen and assistants in Auckland, and an equal number of stockmen and others would be affected by a strike. GORE, March 11.
Sixteen slaughtermen went on at Mataura to-day, and are expected to kill 800 sheep. Eight old hands, two men previously in the shed, and six new men comprise the* board. They are doing good work, and will quickly become proficient. The terms they are/vorking on are the same as those offered by the company from the commencement of the trouble—that the new award be made retrospective. The men at work are all Gore or Mataura residents.
