WHAT A STRIKE LEADER SAYS.

"A CERTAIN LINE OF ACTION." ' (By Telegraph.—Special Correspondent.) 1 Auckland, November 19. i . Mr, Blootlworth, who is a member of i the local oxecutivo of the United Fed- i oration of Labour, and who has just " returned from a visit to Wellington, < stated this morning that conferences of ' the executive had boon held in Welling- : ton, and a certain lino of action had been decided upon. In Wellington, he said, the position was just as strong as •it was in Auckland. The full details

ho suggested did not reach tho great, bulk of the people. So far as tho strike was concerned, tho position was absolutely solid. In LytteltGh tho men at the Addington workshops wero. quite prepared to come out if called upon, and there were other unions, such as tho shearers and tho flaxmillers, who wore still ready to come out' if called upon. In Wellington, Mr. Bloodworth said, he was able to ascertain that tho work on the wharf was very much congested. /The specials wero doing the work so badly that the foreman had grown tired of showing them, and the goods wore-being knocked about. It was quite evident (Mr. Bloodworth said) that tho Wellington employers (that is tho bigger men) were not anxious to effect a settlement.
