TRAMWAY MEN'S DISPUTE.
THE TROUBLE IN CHRISTCHURCH. CHRIHTCHUKCH, Maroh 26. The trouble still continues among the tramway men, and a large meeting of motormen and conductors was held, yesterday, to oonsider the application of the merit and demerit system. The men complain that it practically puts them in the hands of the inspectors. While the system is theoretically a Rood one, it works out badly in practice. They also complain of the recent appointment of a man from the North to supervise the system. Some more ardent spirits urge an immediate strike, but calmer counsels prevailed, and the Board will be approached on Thursday next by a substantial representative deputation. It is understood that if no satisfaction is obtained the men will contemplate resigning in a body.
