(From Oi'r Special Oorressondcnt.)
One of tho new slaughtermen employed at tho Gear Moat Works had a hand lacerated yesterday afternoon. He was medically attended to, and taken to his home.
Tho Petone Railway Workshops employees hold tlicir annual picnic at Trcntham racecourse to-day.
At n meeting held in Pclone on Thursday evening it was unanimously decided to form a branch of tho National Defence League. Professor M'Kenzio addressed tho meeting. Mr. W. B. Nicholson was appointed secretary of the local branch. A peculiar nccident happened at Cook's cooperage, Petone, yesterday morning, in which several employees had a narrow escape from serious injury. It appears that a fly wheel of one of tho band-saws came adrift, and was hurled outsido tho sawmill, whilst several pieces of tho machine were sent flying some distance away. Ono pieco landed on tho roof of an occupied house, about thirty yards nway. Fortunately no one was injured—a miraculous escape, as the band-saw was situated where several of tho employees were working.
