FERTILISER WORKERS.
STRIKE AT AUCKLAND. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Sept. 13. Fertiliser workers employed at Westfield absented themselves from work on Saturday, apparently because they objected to Saturday work. Although the management tried to get in touch with the union officials is was unable to ascertain officially whether the action of the men was intended to be confined to Saturday, or whether the protest strike is to continue. Recently the Arbitration Court made an order permitting the industry to work on Saturdays with the 40-hour week.
