IS A LABOUR CRISIS COMING ?
* _ UNIONIST'S OPINION. (By Telctrraph.-SDecial Correspondent.! Wanganui, January 13. Speaking nt a social tendered to Mr. W. A. Veiteh, M.P., by the. local Labour part)' last night, Mr. W. Lee Martin, a well-known local unionist, referring to the persistent rumours of a great impending strike, warned workers of the danger of attempting to redress their grievances, by strikes, instead of by legislation. He regretted to say that ho had reason to believe that we were on the ove of a serious industrial crisis in this country, and ho feared that tho near future would show tliat some of tho men who had been entrusted with responsibilities were not men who 6hould bo given them. He did not think that the right to strike should be taken away, but, all the same, he did not believe in strikes unless every other possible remedy had been exhausted, and they should only be regarded as the very last, resource. Strikes would merely be forerunners of evil, and doom the Labour party, and he hoped that the party would travel oil legislative lines, rather than on strikos, for it was by legislation that could achieve the best results.
