MARAROA STRIKE
(N.Z. Press Association) INVERCARGILL, July 31. A dispute between the Ministry of Works and men employed on the Mararoa dam site resulted in the dismissal of six men at midday today, and all remaining workers going on strike in sympathy. The dispute arose over the refusal of the men to continue work during today’s wet weather. More than 130 men are employed on shift work at the site. A meeting of the men and a New Zealand Workers’ Union executive is expected to be held in the Te Anau Hall tomorrow morning.
