WHAKATU DISPUTE.
MEN DECIDE UPON WORK. When the works opened on Friday' Pakipaki and Tomoana kept up their normal output, but at Whakatu the men adopted the go-slow policy. They were told that if they did not readh the normal outiput -.during 'the afternon ;j they would be paid off and their places ■would be filled with free labour. The warning was given at noon and was followed by a meeting to discuss the newly arisen position. It was not a particularly quiet meting, and those who wanted to return to work took a very decided stand. The decision to return to work forthwith was caried by an overwhelming majority. “We’ll go to -work to work, and not to mess about,” said a man after the meeting. ! That man’s view seemed tt; be th»« popular one and it may roson-itly be expected that when the three works opened on Saturday the work proceeded peacefully and normally.
