WORK RESUMED.
THE NAPIER WOOL STORES.
RETROSPECTIVE PAY GRANTED. (Per Press Association.) NAPIER, January 21. A mass meeting of wool store- workers this morning decided to resume work at 1 o’clock this afternoon, acting on the assurance of the- Minister for Labour (the Hon. H. T. Armstrong) that the men would receive retrospective pay. The president of the Woolbrokers’ Association (Mr L. C. Rolls), after a meeting of the association yesterday, met a committee of the men and mentioned that next; week three overseas vessels were due to load 20,000 bales at Napier. He said that if there was no solution the brokers would reluctantly have to engage outside labour.
