SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
MINISTERS CONFIDENT.
(Pbess Association.—Copxbight). SYDNEY, March 4. It is confidently believed in Ministerial' circles- that the end of the butchers' strike is in view. Messrs Holnian and Estell further discussed the position with the employers to-day, putting before them a proposal slightly less favourable. Meanwhile the employees have called a mass meeting for to-morrow morning, in anticipation of a fresh offer from.: some retail butchers which, will indicate J a breakinij-away from the allied trades committee. So far no labour is offering for the city shops. Unionists express the opinion that an attempt to run the t'oopS/ with non-union labour will fail, as all the competent men are unionists, and the public are already tired of the kind of neat sold at the depots.
