FREEZERS ON STRIKE.

A WHAKATANE DISPUTE. (Per United Press Association.) TVHAKATAXE, January 29. A strike occurred yesterday at the rlast Coast Co-operative Freezing Company’s works in Whakatanc. It is understood the men held a slop work meeting at 9 a.m., and at 1 p.m. the delegates demanded altered conditions and threepence an hour increase for all labour at the works, specifying for an immediate reply. The management took up the attitude that they could not treat with the men while on strike, (/ but if they carried on their work the management would confer with them - at a given time. The men refused. It now a case of awaiting Mr Sill, the general secretary of the Freezing Workers’ Union, who is expected hero tomorrow.
