At a meeting of the local freezing workers' union on Friday evening, it was decided to accept employment on the terms agreed upon at the Wellington conference.

POSITION IK POVERTY BAY. NO MOVE BY THE MEN. [by telegraph,—own correspondent.] GISBOBNE. Saturday. No move Ims yet been made by the members of the freezing union in Poverty Bay regarding resumption of work, but owing to the fact that the works are all well manned the companies have not been inconvenienced. It is reported that many of the union members are very dissatisfied with the terms made by their leaders, but it is expected that they will offer for engagement next week. , In the meantime operations are proceeding satisfactorily, and the killings are increasing every day. Over 3000 sheep were bandied at the threq works yesterday.
