MINISTERIAL BELIEF.
THE END IN SIGHT. (Received March 4th, 8.40 p.m.) SYDNEY, March 4. It is confidently believed in Ministerial circles that the end of the butchers' strike is in sight.
Mr Holman and Mr Estell further discussed the position with the employers to-day, putting before them a proposal slightly less favourable than tho one previously submitted.
The employees have called a mass meeting for to-morrow morning in anticipation of a fresh offer from some of tho retail butchers, which indicates a breaking away from the Allied Trades Committee.
So far no labour is offering for the city shops. Unionists, express the opinion that any attempt to run the shops with non-union labour will fail, ns all competent men are unionists. The public are already tired of the kind of meat sold in the depots.
