CONFLICTING REPORTS.
MR BELCHER'S UNION.
MINERS FATOUR CONTINUING
DUNEDIN, Last Night
A meeting of the Dunedin branch of the Seamen's Union was held in tlie Trades Hall to-night. There were about 120 members present, and the meeting lasted over two hours. It is understood that tho seamen unanimously decided to stand by their agreements and that later in the day a genuine message was received from Mr Belcher, advising the Mlmuka'e men to stand by the boat, and not to come out.
It was rumoured to-day that a telegram had been received at Port Chalmers, purporting to emanate from Mr Belcher calling on the men of the Manuka, 'which is due to arrive at Port Chalmers to-morrow morning, to "come out." It was also stated tjfiat the later intelligence proved this first telegram to be a "bogus." A ballot by the Green Island Miners' Union resulted by a small margin in favour of continuing work. Another meeting will probably be held this week to consider the question of giving monetary assistance to the strikers.
