THE TIMARU STRIKE.
UNION CO.’S BOATS BEING
WORKED
rpEESS ASSOCIATION TIUiEGE TTMARU, May 13. Tho waters!dors resumed work today on the Union Co.'s steamers, with some free labor in the trucks. No formal statement appears to have been made, hut apparently the strike is off. Tho dispute, however, does not concern work on the Union boats, but only boats loading meat killed bv non. unionists. Some unionists are grumbling at the Federation for inconsistency in approving of ceasing vif-nrk her a on such meat, while making no objection to the like at Lyttelton. The railway men who struck as members of the Waterside Union arc all hack, and talk of separating and forming an independent union. The Employers’ Committee met thi. morning, and, work being resumed, had nothing:-to do .except determine to keep prepared to meet tlm hext refusal to work vessels.
