Heard and Said.

That ex-President Roosevelt has expressed the opinion that the Los Angeles outrage was not the result of dynamite. That despite his bitter opposition to labour organisations and his_ rabid anti—sosh Roosevelt occasionally speaks the truth. That A. R. Guinness has at last grabbed the handle he has been chasing for years past. That a meeting of industrialists was held in the Socialist Rooms, Wellington, for the purpose of establishing a branch of the N.Z.F.L. That the Kaitangata men's case for a breach of an arbitration award was dismissed.

That the best thing the Kaitangata men can do is to get out of the clutches of the Arbitration Court. That Professor Mills says if poverty is a blessing someone else is quite welcome to all the blessings coming to him. That judging by the amount of adulteration in the workers' food one would think that some of the wholesale merchants were interested in a sewerage. That the present abominable conditions of society are not solely due to capitalist cruelty, but to work-ing-class stupidity. That "overseas Dominions" are convenient places to send undesirable relatives in the form of governors, wasters and drunks. That we can breathe much easier now as a result of Cardinal Moran's statement that praying for the King is not prohibited. That Prof. W. T. Mills is of opinion that all attempts to prevent the

monopolising of industry by antitrust legislation are farcical in the extreme. That in this ho falls foul of the "Labour party" idea." That the Taranaki Harbour Board has joined the N.Z. Employers' Federation. That most public bodies in New Zealand display in no unmistakable way where their class interest lies. That the rumour circulated that the Greymouth Wharf Labourers' Union was about to withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce is grossly untrue. That Secretary Jackson still adorns a seat at the Chamber's deliberations. That it is surprising some of the Wharf Labourers' Union have not asked the Federation President what th*3 conduct means. That we wonder whether London's 65,000 underfed school children had a hand in the Coronation cable alleged to be sent to this country by the children of London. That the handful of "sirs" hurled at "Godsown" struck Sir joe the hardest. That hereditary titles have the same pernicious effects on posterity as tuberculosis and idiocy, and hamper it at every turn. That Cuba's gift of 10,000 cigars to King George should put an end to the eternal worry of tho tobacco bill.

That the N.Z.F.L. scored a signal vie- . Tory in forcing the mining monopolies to alter materially their original "final terms." That the "final terms" of the N.Z.F.L. is the collective ownership of the means of wealth production. That we have never yet seen a capitalistic newspaper editor who "was unafraid of "his master's voice." That the Waihi mining companies were wiso enough to ignore the "Evening Post's" (Well.) advice to fight and crush the the N.Z.F.L. That the "crushing" of workingclass organisations by the employing class generally leads to greater workingclass activity. That trouble is brewing amongst the waterside workers of New Plymouth through, the employers refusing to give them a hearing. That all along tho waterfronts of N.Z. the wharf hands are showing a desire to indulge in a little "direct action." That tho strike of British seamen has practically resolved itself into a general strike in that industry. That most of the shipping companies are acceding to the strikers' request for moro humane conditions and something more than a mere pittance in the way of wages.
