THE SLAUGHTERMEN
NO DEVELOPMENTS. Nothing that Is new can be recorded in connection with the slaughtermen's dispute to-day. The local worka are idle and the ultimatum of the companies will not expire till to-morrow. Meantime the men are "sitting tight." It is understood that a meeting of theemployees will be held at the end of this week, but the indications are that the"killers" will stand for. the granting of their demands. There is nothing new in connection with the strike at Petotie. The trades dependent on the slaughtermen are gradually dropping off, and by the end of the week most of them are expected to be closed down. The town is very quiet, but that is not extraordinary, for the men— or the majority of them—taking advantage of the idle spell, patronised the races at Trentham both yesterday and to-day.
