SUSPENDED.
WORKERS WHO WOULD NOT CONTINUE.
[per press association. 3 GREYMOUTH, Dec. 9
The head men in the Maintenance Department workshops at the wharves and others not engaged in running trains on polling day received a circular telling the men to cease work at noon on polling day. They made preparations accordingly, but at 11.40 a verbal message was sent to the foreman of the wharf repairing gang for Thursday, saying that work was to Jcontinue till one o’clock. The men declined, as they had worked from 6 to suit the tide. Next morning thirteen, including three permanents, were suspended, and fire still not working.
