STRIKE MATTERS.

RESOLUTIONS BY LYTTELTON HARBOUR BOARD. In referring to strike matters at the meeting of the Lytelton Harbour Board yesterday, the Chairman said that many. people , had been under the impression that there had been no necessity .to send any special constables to Lytteiton at all, but from what he had seen and heard at the port he was sure that unless the "specials"" had gone -here,, there would have been ho work done, and the-place would still be closed to commerce. He thought it would be only right for him, as one who had been, an observer of what.had been,going on, to express his appreciation of the manner in which the "specials' 'had carried out their work of enforcing law and order. Mr Kaye moved and it was carried:— "That tlte-question of the erection of barricades, if necessary, be referred to the fuller consideration of tho Harbour Improveme_-i Committee." Continuing, Mr Kaye said that the Board should pass some '■ resolution expressing appreciation of the admirable way in which the port had been reopened. All thought that there would be' "trouble, ' but' luckily it had been averted. Those who saw tho descent of the special constables upon Lytteiton -were all agreed that it was a splendidly-thought-out operation, splendidly performed, and the commander of H.M.S. Psyche bad been particularly pleased with the manner in which the evolution had been carried out. It was unanimously resolved that the thanks of the Board were due to the public-spirited men who had assisted in opening the part to trade and commerce, and that a letter of appreciation be sent to Colonel Chaffey. Mt Horrell seconded this motion, and said that though he did so he felt that it was exceedingly unfortunate that there had been any necessity for special constables at all.' "With all due deference to our worthy Premier," continued the speaker, "I may say that I think Mr Massey lost a splendid opportunity to prove himself a statesman. He was sorry Mr Dougall here_ rose to a point of order, and the Chairman said Mr Horrell could not be allowed-to break out into a political speech, but must confine his remarks* to speaking to the motion. v. Mr Horrell said'that he had nothing further to say then, and sat down.
