THE WELLINGTON TRAMWAY STRIKE.
[Pbb Pf.kss Association.] WELLINGTON, June 21. Dr Qrace writes to the newspapers, offering to sell the tramways to the 'Union ab a reasonable price. His contention all along has been that the business has never pßid, and at the interview with the delegates he jocularly offered to "toss them up for the lot." In a letter to the Post this evening Dr Grace says: — "The Union shall hear no more from us, as we are now bound in honour and conscience to our non-Unionist hands. We have behaved with absolute candour and straightforwardness, to the Union during the whole of the negotiations, and know that we have earned the sympathy of many formerly hostile to us. We shall labour to extend the circle of our sympathisers,- and shall, we trust, always behave honourably and fearlessly. There is plenty of room for two parties in this young Colony. We desire merely the free enjoyment of our privileges as citizens,, and if we are j deprived of this we shall emigrate, as j hundreds of others have done, from want of practical sympathy and support." . |
