BUTCHERS' STRIKE.

IMPROVED POSITION AT AUCKLAND.

(Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, November 17. The butchers’ strike assumed a more favourable aspect from a business point of view to-day, the auxiliary labour obtained by • the employers enabling them to open a large percentage of their shops. Members of the Union assembled in the vicinity of several of the shops, but nothing was done to hinder the operations of the men employed. The Unionists are determined to hold out, and will march through the streets to-morrow and make a massed demonstration in Queen Street in the hope of influencing public sentiment.
