BEER PRICE STRIKE
WATERSIDERS STANDING FIRM IN WELLINGTON. TRAMWAYMEN JOINING IN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. According to inquiries today the watersiders are standing firm in their decision not to patronise hotels until the price of beer is reduced. Another group of workers has joined in the boycott, in the tramwaymen, who discussed the question of price being charged for beer at a meeting yesterday and decided to act in similar manner to the Waterside Workers’ Union until the matter had been rectified.
A member of the Waterside Workers’ Union, spoken to today, said it was not a nine days’ wonder. “We are solid," he said. “In fact the boys are more solid in this matter than ever I expected them to be.” Reports which have been circulated that the Wellington Licensed Victuallers' Association may reconsider the position were not borne out at the office of the association. The secretary said a further meeting had not been held and the position remained unchanged.
