Action in the Waikato.

There are a few disciples of Gustavo „ Herve in the Waikato Miner's Union. At a meeting held on Tuesday of last week the following resolution was carried with enthusiasm:—"That in the best interests of Working-class solidarity we the Workers of TLuntly deprecate the Compulsory Military Training Sytem which the Government is attempting to enforce upon this Dominion; and that we, as units of the Working-class, use every means in our power to nullify its efforts." « Mr. Pied Napper brought forward a scheme to initiate a Union library which commended itself to the meeting, and a strong committee of volunteers was straightway formed. Mr. Napper is organising a concert to raise fimds. The Library will be worked within the Union and self-supporting. We have a Union, w-e have thought, we have schemes worthy of development, we are 500 strong—yet we are denied the Freedom to progress for lack of a Hall oAving to land monopoly. Meanwhile the Miner Office w.ll house foe books. The Library has the definite object of procuring brooks upon ; INDUSTRIAL, UNIONISM." Not the books of fiction, TJselees <laub.s of ink.
