WOEK AID WAGES.
STRIKE OR ENGINEERS. [Received August 12, at 7.30 p.m.] LONDON, August 12. Sixteen hundred Thames engineers have struck. [Pjbb Press Association.] GISBORNE, August 12. Mr Barr, manager of the Tawhareparae block, near Tologa Bay, says there was a misapprehension about his wanting a hundred men and getting the Labour Bureau to send them from the south, as he was away on the block, and only heard at the end of the week that the Hinemoa had been sent for the men. Had they come, there would have been a difficulty in employing them, for owing to the nature of tho country, no tracks being cut, it waa not an easy matter to get supplies packed ia. There are now eighty men employed in the bush-felling contracts. Twenty more are wanted, and these Mr Barr is certain ho can obtain in the district.
