A meeting representative of all sections of the workers on the viaduct, was held during- the week-end, and from what could be ascertained it was expected that the men would cease work on Monday. It is now learned, however, that they are to wait until-the visit of the Minister for Public Works, Mr. R, Semple, to the district, and will put their ease before him.
