FREEZING DISPUTE
WORKERS URGED TO STAND FIRM
KILLING WILL COMMENCE ON MONDAY.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
NAPIER, 4th November.
A meeting of freezing workers in Hastings to-night was addressed by Mr. James Roberts, of the Alliance of Labour. The Press was not admitted, but it is understood that no resolutions were submitted to the meeting. Mr. Roberts* is understood to have urged the men to stand by their claims, and said that their comrades in other parts were interested to see what the Hawkes Bay men will do when the works open for the season on Monday. That killing will commence on Monday is quite certain. The only doubtful point is as to the proportion of free labour and unionists on the staffs engaged, but the booking of unionists to start when the works open has been so heavy that it is quite likely that almost complete crews of union labour will be enrolled. The feeling among the great majority of the men that they should start work was not in the least shaken by Mr. Roberts's remarks to-night.
