RELIEF WORKS STRIKE.
DEMAND FOB BETTER BATES
AT ROTORUA. PUBLIC MEETING PASSES RESOLUTION. ROTORUA, March 2L At a well attended public meeting held in Rotorua on Wednesday evening a motion was carried calling upon the Government to investigate the conditions under which relief workers are existing in the town and expressing the (opinion that the rates paid are insufficient to sustain them while doing hard Iwork. Belief workers present at the meeting unanimously voted to continue the strike which is at present in progress as a protest against the conditions imposed in connection with work on the aerodrome. The men have demonstrated by marching through the town, but are very orderly and have refrained from molesting some of their number in the outer district who have continued working. The Unemployment Board has refused to give the men work unless they return to the Aerodrome job, and this they refuse to do on present rates.—(lPA.)
