WARM LETTER,
MR. YOUNG'S RECENT BOMBAST. (Br Teloffrauh.—Frera Aawolatloa.) Auckland, November 1. The following message was sont from tho Executive Committee of the Auckland Seamen's Union to Mr! Young:— "Tho executivo hero would like to know whether your utterances at the Basin Reserve were msdo as president of tho United Federation of Labour or as secretary of tho Wellington Sea-n-.en's Unioii. In view of tho recent ballot, your conduct is most extraordinary. So is your proposal involving the Seamen's Union in New Zealand in a striko without first consulting tho other branches or our Australian kinsmen. Your bombast about marching on Wellington with 15,000 men is worthy of Dr. Jim or John Brown, but certainly is not a.guarantee of victory or improved conditioiis for seamen on this coast; bccause you should remember that in all Anglo-Saxon and Celtic communities tho forces of civilisation are not yet extinct."
