THE UNION MANDATE OBEYED. Auckland, August 28.
A ciiAMir, has conic o\er the state of affairs in connection with the dispute between the Bootmakers' Union and Messrs Garrett Bros. The members of the Operatives' Union who wcie " called out ' of (JanefcO Bros.' factory on Saturday, and who had ignoied the Union mandate up till ye&teiday, changed their minds. Those who « ore engaged on piecework came out to-day, and the men employed on weekly wages gavo a week's notice of their intention to leave. These men informed the Secretary of the Operatives' Union that the reason why they did not come out sooner was because they had some work to finish, and that the notice given them by the Union was too short. One of the membeis of the firm states that the Union men employed at the factory came to him and said that although perfectly satisfied with their treatment by the firm and the wages paid -the latter on some lines being higher than the Union scalo - 3 cfc they would piefcr to "go out " till the matteis in dispute w eie settled. The Operatives' Association hold a meeting this evening to consider what further action should be taken in continuance of the strike.
