OTIRA TUNNEL.
WORK AT A STANDSTILL,
By Telegraph—Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night,
: The Otira correspondent of the Press telegraphed at,five o'clock,this afternoon as follows:
"The four o'clock shift refused to go into the tunnel this afternoon. It seems that at a meeting of the local Union last night, a deputation was appointed to wait on Mr McLean to discuss some matters pertaining to the work. One of the deputation was Mr Armstrong, who is not employed by Mr McLean, and the latter refused to discuss the matters with any people who were not his employees. At four o'clock the men, some forty-eight of them, took their carbide and prepared to go to work,' but instead they •went to the tunnel * hall to a meeting, whereupon Mr McLean met them and repeated what he had already told them. ' At present the work at the tunnel is at a standstill, and the men are discussing the situation."
