AUCKLAND TRAMWAYS.
TROUBLE THREATENED. Pre.** Association.—By Telegraph. Auckland, March 19. The tramway employees considered the reports by the representatives who attended three unsuccessful conferences with the company. The latter was not inclined to concede the men's demands owing to the increased expenditure involved. It had made slight concessions, but not sufficient to help the union in arriving at a mutual agreement. A proposal to give fourteen days' notice to the company was considered, but it was decided to postpone drastic action till a more favourable opportunity. It was strongly hinted that exhibition time was a good opportunity. It is stated the new demands would involve the company in an additional expenditure of £20,000 per annum.
