From Socialist Headquarters.

F. R. Cooke, secretary N.Z.S P.» writes: Comrade Howard has just returned from Timaru and Waimate, where he has been engaged in organising work and was successful in establishing branches of tho New Zealand Socialist Party in both towns. He reports that if oho Federation can make a conoession financially, it would be very easy to get many unions south of Christchurch into its ranks. It is an open secret in this city that man v unions* will join as soon as their funds will allow them. The news from all parts of tho Dominion, both on Socialism and industrialism, is encouraging, and with tho assistance of your valuable paper wo aro going to make working-class history during tho next few years. Tho response to our appeal for a Socialist Organising Fund is very encouraging. Keep it going Comrades, wo want £500; wo must have speakers of the best, and two vans are needed. Come along, a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. It is only the Socialists that will bring Socialism, be they industrial or political The Lytteiton waterside workers at a meeting decided unanimously to take no part in tho Coronation procession although they had been advertised and a plaoe fixed for them. A waterside worker was killed while at work last Friday morning. A basket tilted at the hatch, and a lump of coal struck Brewer on the head. He died in a very short time. The stay was cleared from the hatch immediately. The waterside workers who were working on the ship stopped work immediately for tho day out of sympathy.
