TOWN QUIET.
Waihi, November 15. The town was quiet and orderly last night. The sixty released from gaol are unlikely to receive a cordial welcome in Waihi at the hands of the Arbitrationists, and it is not probable any of them will find employment in the local mines. Two supposed Federationlst pickets arrived by last night’s train, and were promptly chased out of town by the Arbitrationists. Arbitrationist patrols visited several Federalionist houses, and assured occupants that their life and property were safe. They said those causing the Federatiouists annoyance were acting on their own responsibility, and the committee had instructed all to keep order and refrain from violence, and assist the police in every way. This action has had a greatly reassuring effect on a large number of Federationists (principally women). The police have established telephone communication with Waikino, and ore now in constant communication.
The grocery store conducted by the Federation Union was taken charge of this morning by the new Union and police. This action was considered necessary in con-
sequence of the closing of the store, and for the preservation of perishable goods.
