Auckland Quietens Down
BUT PRECAUTIONS ARE STILL STRINGENT. Per Press Asiociation. AUCKLAND, April 19. _ More men are at work to-day on relief jobs lhani yesterday and the position generally has shown improvement. Bocause of threats which those men who remained at work at Devonport complained were made by the strikers, the employed men requested the Borough Council to close down relief jobs till Thursday. The Council acquiesced. The atmosphere created by last week’s riots is now inoticcably calmer. Precautions are not being relaxed in the slightest—rather they, have been increased, but there is much less apprehension in the public mind. Keen interest taken in the stop-work meeting of the Seamen’s Union this morning, but at noon no decision had been announced.
