TO CONTINUE WORK.
• . . FLAXHANDS' DECISION. COST OF LAST WEEK'S HOLD-UP. \ (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) FOXTON, this day. In consequence of the failure of a deputation of workers to come to an arrangement with the management to reinstate the five workers recently dismissed through non-attendance, a further stop-work meeting of flax and textile workers was held yesterday, when by an overwhelming majority it was decided to continue work. Last week the hold-up cost the workers £240 in wages and necessitated the replacing by importation from Calcutta of the lost output at a cost to the country of sterling exchange approximating £900, Xew Zealand currency.
