The State miners have only been idle 1£ days since the protest was made about slack time.

A ballot was taken as to whether the members of the Union were in. favour or talcing immediate political action; result—Yes, 333; No, 61. The Labour Party is making ous efforts to bring out candidates at tho forthcoming election, and in my opinion we shall be forced to take action, or we shall lose ground with a large percentage of the workers. I£ an are sent to Parliament in the interests of Labor, we must make sure that they have the interests of the workers at heart, and not allow the workers to be used by these professional politicians for the purpose or getting in the House. What we want are out-and-out revolutionary Socialists and no others.—J.G.
