That an industrial membership annual ticket in the N.Z.F.L. may be obtained for 4s. on application to the organiser, or secretary Glover, Runanga. That the coal vend case, proceeding in Sydney, is bringing out many interesting sidelights on commercialism. That at Renmark, South Australia, tho workers are affiliated with the General Labourers' Union., which union is a, fighting one, and like th« A.W.IT, was before being "dished" by arbitration. That tho Rhondda (Wales) strikers are fiercely battling against intolerable conditions, and have tho best wishes of all awakened workers. That the. Typos, of Hobart have won an increase in wages from £2 12s to £3 —not before it was time. That tho motion that the Federal (Aus.) Government ought to resign because of the referenda verdict is preposterous seeing how strong its following is in the Reps, and tho Senate. That a referendum is supposed to decide matters independent of party. That Chiozzo-Money's figures on riches and poverty show the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer. That Prime Minister Carroll made a cultured and pointed speech at the opening meeting of the Irish delegaves, and was easily the speaker of the evening. That behind the Morocco business is the same old influence of capitalistic aggression. That the Socialists of tho Dominion will organise the sale of The Worker in their centres. That if the South Polo isn't soon tied to the known world it won't be for the want of trying. That the May Day riots in Paris were naturally the outcome of the provocation caused by the prohibition of demonstrations. That be peace conventions ever so numerous the biggest force for peace is the International Socialist movement. ■ That strikes are tho order of the day in the United States of America, but why?

That Joe Ward will return to New Zealand a lost soul as far as progress and democracy are concerned. That now the Dominion's Mayors and all the rest of the hosts of respectability—respectability never yet did anything for progress—are busily making preparations for the Coronation crawl, let men of democratic grit set themselves to fight the preparations, and keep N.Z. untainted of corroding ceremonial and monarchical manifestations. That every issue of The Worker will be a propagandist issue and one to pass on —-"for the good we all may do." That some day these first issues will bo greatly prized and very valuable, and not a few will be glad they preserved their copies. That if every present reader took an extra copy, 25,000 papers would be covering the islands and soon 50,000 would be in sight. That Trades Unions may obtain this paper in quantities, and we hope they'll do it. That "Away with Arbitration" is the new and sound tactic the new and sound policy of gaining working-class supremacy. That Employers' Federation Pryor will wonder, more than ever what's come over the workers., when he sees them rushing and crushing into the N.Z. Labour Federation —rushing and crushing into it for the sake of restitution and retribution. That with agents' "Woeker" bundles there will be a contents sheet for dis- - play, and our "AVoekkb" Array members arc invited to see that it is displayed. That singly the workers are weak, but together* they are all powerful.
