LATEST CABLEGRAMS

(By Cable. —United Press Association. —Copyright HOME AND FOREIGN. BOILERMAKERS' LOCK-OUT. DISINTEGRATING ELEMENTS. Received September 14, 12.20 a.m. London, Yesterday. The executive of the Steam Enginemakers' Society report that members are referring the question of recognising their authority, and remark that if such disintegrating elements entered their ranks, they would deal with them as with the plague. A trade union without executive authority or discipline must tumble to the ground. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING VITAL THE OSBORNE JUDGMENT. London, Yesterday. Mr Haslam, Labour member for Chesterfield, and president of the Trades' Union Congress at Sheffield, in opening his address, emphasised the need of loyalty and discipline on the part of all concerned in the maintenance of the vital principles underlying the trade union movement, namely, collective bargaining. Doubtless delays had occurred in the settlement of some minor difficulties, but the breaking of agreements by individual or sectional action was unjustifiable. They ought to expedite the settlement of disputes by means of proper rules and regulations. Referring to the Osborne judgment, he said it was hindering the work of the trades unions. The latter always believed one of their objects was to elect Trade Unionists to the House of Commons, and funds were accordingly applied to that purpose. Nothing short of the reinstatement of the trade unions' posi tion up to the time of the Osborne decision could be accepted. The boilermakers' officials on Tyneside reckon on a six weeks' struggle, and argue that if their representative meetings arrange the proposed assurances a ballot will be necessary before negotiations are employed. TRADE UNION CONGRESS. SALVATION ARMY AND TRADE UNIONS. Received September 14, 9 a.m. London, Last Night. At the Trades' Union Congress Mr Morris, a bricklayers' delegate, protested against the Osborne decision occupying so much time. He believed the vast majority of the trade unions favoured the judgment (Cries of "No," and "Yes.") A number of delegates protested against the Salvation Army labour home under-selling joiners, stokers and glass-blowers, and fears are being expressed that the territorials would be ordered to intervene in trade disputes. Mr Ben Tiilett said Mr Haldane would gladly use the territorials as regulars, but labour must accept his assurance for the time being. UNDIGNIFIED ATTACK ON UNCHALLENGED RIGHT. London, Last Night. The Parliamentary Committee of the Trade Union Congress reported that the Osborne decision is one of those periodical attacks which labour is accustomed to receive from those whose duty it is to hold the scales of justice evenly. It is an undignified attack on what has hitherto been an unchallenged right. SHEFFIELD MOULDERS GET ADVANCE.

Received September 14, 1.15 a.m. London, Last Night. The Sheffield moulders have asked for an advance of two shillings a week to forty-two shillings. The masters have conceded a shilling, and will consider a further advance later. COTTONS SPINNERS'' TROUBLE. EMPLOYERS FAVOUR STOPPAGE. DEAR MATERIAL AND LITTLE PROFITS. London, Yesterday. The Cardroom Amalgamation is postponing the consideration of the employers' ultimatum. The Cotton Spinners' Federation meets on Monday. Many employers favour a stoppage in view of the dearness of raw material and the unremunerative prices of yarn. There is a growing impression in Sheffield that Mr Sydney Buxton, president of the Board of Trade, will be asked to assist in a settlement. COTTON BROKER KILLED. London, Last Night. Mr Albert Hoch, a well-known Liverpool cotton broker, has been killed by a motor accident at Hodnet. His wife was injured.

GOLD MYSTERIOUSLY STOLEN. New York, Yesterday. I Seven thousand dollars' worth of gold dust has been mysteriously stolen from the steamer Humbolt en route to Seattle from Fairbanks. Pig lead was found inside. SAN RENO FIGHT. VERY HARMLESS FILMS. London, Yesterday. The films of the San Reno fight have been shown at the National Sporting Club. The "Times" states that the pictures represent a rather dull fight, not like the word paintings thereof. The cinematographs omit all the adjectives and there is much more wrestling than boxing. It is a very harmless show and anybody demoralised seeing it would lose all his morality if he saw a cab accident. FALL OF ROCK ON RAILWAY. KILLS TWELVE PEOPLE. New York, Yesterday. Twelve persons were killed by a fall of rock at the Erie railway cutting, near Jersey City, and ten injured. JOURNALISTIC CONFERENCE. NEW ZEALAND OFFICERS. London, Yesterday. At the Journalists' Conference the honorary secretaries for overseas elected included Mr W. S. Douglas, editor of the "New Zealand Herald.'' The overseas vice-presidents include MrTriggs, editor of the "Christchurch Press." CHEAP CABLES WANTED. London, Y'esterday. At the Civic welcome to the journalists in the Guildhall, there was a large attendance, Mr Harry Lawson presiding. In addressing the conference he dwelt upon its Imperial scope as tending to unity throughout, the Empire. Cheapness of communication was necessary to that end. He emphasised the growing demand for a direct British cable across the Atlantic. The Post Ofijce must respond. Mr John Mitchell, of Dundee, has been elected president for the ensuing year. CANADA'S TROOPS. A MESSAGE FROM THE KING. Received September 30, 9.85 p.m. Ottawa, Yesterday. Earl Grey, Governor - General of Canada, has received from the King the following message: "I have had pleasure in receiving to-day at Balmoral a representative detachment, of the Queen's Own Ritles, of Canada, and of hearing of their successful work at manoeuvres.
