SCABS AND “HERALD.”

iDear Sir, —I z-ead in yours of July 28; a reference to miners working with. scabs, taken • from' the "Herald." I am a subscriber to that paper, and at the time of the Patea strike say.' Mr. Rear Son on the Patetf <wharf, watching the woik-_of the strikers being done by the seameny all of'whom, I believe, were unionists. ~:I-naturally felt happy and looked for my, '.'Weekly Herald," '. expecting a diatribe from Sim's organised scabs, but nary a word. Young, of Seamen's Union, informed the men they must put cargo above high-water mark,, which was construed into wheeling it into, Government shed and push-.,, ing trucks round station yard. When' our men heckled non-union scabs these had the support of union scabs. —Yours for the bettor time, Patea. W. BARKER.
