STRIKE ENDED
KAIAPOI FREEZING WORKS
P.A. CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Workers at the North Canterbury Sheepfarmers' Co-operative Company's works at Kaiapoi decided to resume work at 1 o'clock today, after a secret ballot on ' the issue, the voting being 75 for resumption and 50 against, said the secretary of the Canterbury Freezing Workers' Union, Mr. H. G. Kilpatrick, today. Mr. Kilpatrick went to the works this morning at the request of the men. A meeting was held just after 8 o'clock, when he submitted a resolution in line with the union executive's policy that they resume work immediately and refer the matter in dispute to a competent tribunal for settlement. The resolution was not accepted immediately, said Mr. Kilpatrick. A- lengthy discussion took place, during which contact was made with the Minister of Labour in Wellington. The Minister gave an assurance that a tribunal would be set up immediately and the men given the opportunity to choose their own representatives for it.
