WELLINGTON STRIKE.
SIR JOSEPH WARD MEDIATES
SETTLEMENT ARRIVED AT
[BY TKLKGHACTI.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Tuesday.
The Wellington tramway strike has been settled and the cars resume running to-day. The only difficulty in the way since Friday night has been the refusal of the strikers to accept the words "at his own request" in the agreement with regard to the transference of Inspector Fuller to another branch of the service. Yesterday morning the Prime Minister (Sir Joseph Ward) appeared in the capacity of mediator and as the result of his intervention both sides agreed to a clause providing for the removal of Inspector Fuller to another branch of the tramway service "as originally requested by the Tramway Union and now desired by the officer himself." This agreement was put before a meeting of the tramwaymen in the afternoon, and was accepted. LOSSES BY STRIKE.
Wellington, This Day. Approximately the loss of revenue during the time of the strike amounted to £2190. These figures are arrived at by comparison with the the corresponding days of 1911. The men lose in wages a little over £IOOO in their five days off.
