USE OF THREATS
MEN CEASE WORK
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Attempts were made to-day to induce all men to stop work. The principal developments occurred in the Mount Eden district, where- a hundred men are working. A stop-work meeting was held and in response to an appeal, all but about twenty men responded. Eventually the number of workers was reduced to five married men, fifteen others stopping, it is alleged, in consequence of threats. The other gang of men were then visited and a hundred out of 340 men at the Training College stopped work. The next place visited was Mount Boskill, where about 700 men were working, but here there were no stoppages, the agitators being greatly outnumbcreH, and about fifteen policemen being handy.
