SETTLEMENT EXPECTED. United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Sydney, March 5. The Cabinet committee substituted fresh proposals to the men’s delegates. Details were withheld. These were to be submitted to a mass meeting, but the Board of Inquiry decided to postpone the meeting till Friday night in order to consider the proposals immediately. All the big cisv shops have opened. There was a rush for.meat. Only a limited number of hands are available. Some 300 to 400 masters attended the abattoirs either kdling or carting, the only union .labour engaged being at the public slaughtering pens. The Homebnsh market was very animated. Small supplies resulted in big prices being obtained. It was stated late to-night that the result of negotiations with the butchers gives every prospect of an agreement between the men and the employers to-morrow.
