SECURING WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.
AVAIHI, May 16. Everything is quiet. A meeting of the union was held and the roll called this morning. Those answering to their names will be given strike pay. A large number of contracts have lapsed, owing to the 48 hours' non-manning limit having expired. The contractors will be heavy losers. The officials at the Grand Junction mine have been working cleaning up the remaining slimes, but no wages men were employed. The Minister of Public Works is endeavoring to secure work on the East Coast railway for the married borough employees until the Council's revenue starts to come in again.
