LABOR UNREST.

THE REEFTON STRIKE

BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION

REEFTON, June 25. A deputation from the citizens' committee waited on Mr Winter Evans today, but no information as to the result is published. The president of- the union has returned. A mass meeting of the union will be held to-morrow night, at which the president of the Federation of Labor will deliver an address.

It is expected that, if the fine weather continues, the County Council work will soon be finished, when some seventy men will come into town.

A number of married men have gone to Blackball to get work. The dullness in town is not so marked as might be expected, but business is very quiet. A peculiar fact is that, in soite of the men leaving, the school attendance is just the same as last year.
