THE SUGAR STRIKE
A NEW DEVELOPMENT. (Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, August 23. Despite several developments since Saturday in the sugar worts dispute, the men have not yet been reinstated, and they are now interesting themselves in securing payment until such time as they return to work. They offered themselves in a body for work this morning, but had to content themselves with the knowledge that there will be no victimisation, and that they will be reinstated without exception. No forecast as to when they are likely to be re-employed however was made. The painters have returned to their former positions at the works. The Union secretary this morning sent a telegram to the President of the Board of Trade (the Hon. E. P. Lees) suggesting that the men should be paid full or part wages from this morning until they are able to return to work. ‘lf I can assure the men that they will be paid,” continued the message, “they will not seek other employment.”
