TO-DAY'S PROCESSION.

A.S.R.S. MEN ON MARCH. MASS MEKTIKG THIS AFTERNOON. The rail nay men have no intimation whatever of a settlement, and their meetings and demonstration to-day are going on us arranged. At half-pa.<t this afternoon some four hundred of the strikers lined up outside the watersiders' rcat-room on the waterfront, and, headedby their officials an;| Messrs, Parry and Savage, M.P.'s, marrhed two-by-two up Queen Street, and round the Wellesley Street corner, to the Trades Hall, where their great mass meeting ivas timed to take place at three o'clock. This procession, a eouplp of hundred yards long, made a fine show as the men marched in orderly ranks up the main street, with the great silk-worked banner carried at their head, and bearing the words, " Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, Auckland Branch." It is possible that during the course of the meeting an official message, confirming the settlement of the dispute, or lat least reporting progress of the negotiations, will be promulgated to the as sembled men.
