"The past year has been one of almost continuous industrial unrest throughout the world," said Mr D. McFarlane in the course of his report at the annual meeting of the Wanganui Chamber of Commerce. "In New Zealand we have had the coastal officers' strike, which lasted some weeks and was the source of much inconvenience and loss to traders. There is at present the strike at Waihi still dragging along. New Zealand is now keenly feeling the effects of the dock strike in London, which followed, so closely upon the coal strike, and iB still unsettled. It is a pity that ths great body of workers who are, 1 feel sure, willing for a more sensible method of settlement of differences over wages and hours, allow themselveß to be led by blatant agitators, whose occupations and fat Dillets would be gone if industrial peace and prosperity reigned. It is sincerely to be hoped that the workers will arise in their wrath and depose the paid agitators."
