AUCKLAND BUTCHERS’ STRIKE.

SETTLEMENT HOPED FOR. Per - Press Association. AU.CKLAND, Dec. 5. A final settlement of the butchers’ strike is still lacking, though the acceptance by the master butchers of the terms of the Wellington award as regards wages, and their undertaking to agree to make provision for a week’s annual holiday on pay:, when the current Auckland award expires next October, seem to remove the last obstacle to" a resumption of work by the butchers and their sympathetic slaughtermen! It is hoped that a meeting of the Butchers’ Union, which will be held tomorrow morning, will lead to the raising of the small barriers which still block the way, and that-the result will be a general resumption of work in , the butchers’ shops with the beginning of the new week. ' MEN RETURN TO WORK. AUCKLAND, Dec. 6. . The butchers’ strike has been settled f rantically on the terms of the Wellingon award. Some of the men returned to work this afternoon and the remainder will resume on Monday.
