STRIKE COLLAPSE CONTINUES IN NORTH
AUCKLAND FARMERS ORGANISING COMMANDOS
To-day the drivers are to come out in this city, but it is understood that there is nothing like unanimity amongst the men. A number will probably refuse to obey the call to come out. Tho strike meeting in Victoria square was very largely attended, and after some rather violent speeches a resolution was carried which had not been seen by tho Mayor. In the meantime the camp of "specials" at Addington has been busy, and a powerful force of foot and mounted men are ready to preserve order. In Auckland and Wellington tho strike has almost collapsed. Order prevails, men are returning to work, and the wharves are very busy. The farmers in the Auckland province are taking stops to organise "commandos" for use in similar troubles in tho future.
