WORK RESUMED
SLAUGHTERMEN’S STRIKE PLENTY OF FREE LABOUR AVAILABLE. FES PRESS ASSOCIATION. DUNEDIN, June 27. The Burnside Freezing Works resumed killing to-day with a full board of free labour consisting of two teams and several butchers, working on their own. A strong picket from the union, totalling forty-seven men, occupied the roadway and different entrances to the works, but there was no demonstration of any kind attempted. A police guard was provided, but the duties of these officers proved to be light, a few words of advice being sufficient to stop even the following up of the men going to the works. Similar conditions prevail at the Finegand works at South Otago. POSITION IN CANTERBURY. NEW SYSTEM SUCCESSFUL. PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. CHRISTCHURCH, June 27. No new element has arisen in connection with the freezing strike. The works are continuing with free labour, and the new system of killing has proved successful and far beyond expectations. This is proved by the fact that in some of the works all the sheep brought in for a day’s killing were cut out by 2.30 p.m.
