CHRISTCHURCH RELIEF WORKS.
Per Press Association
CHRISTCHURCH, May 17. The relief workers’ strike showed further signs of collapse to-day, when considerable numbers of men who had not reported for duty on Monday accepted work this morning. Oil all the works there were 1447 men working and 200 absent. Of the absentees, the largest numbers were from the railway gangs (70) and the Lyttelton Borough Council works (43). It seems probable that more moil will return to duty tomorrow.
