An "Auckland Herald"

Lie.

OUR FRIENDS—THE RICH MAN'S

PRESS.

It was Ed. Fay, "The Bounder" of tho "Sunday Chronicle" and later of "The Clarion," who described a man who handled the truth somewhat carelessly as "a lovely liar." The Auckland "Herald" is what a Scotsman would describe a 9 "no bad" at this game. Note : "The feeling in Waihi is that the only prospect of an early settlement LIES in the introduction of legislation making arbitration compulsory." Does anyone with the slightest knowledge of Waihi doubt for a moment that the great majority of the miners in Waihi are entirely and completely opposed to arbitration, compulsory or otherwise ? Is it not a fact that two-thirds of the population are miners and their families? The man who wrote the paragraph and the editor who allowed it to be printed knew the statement was untrue. They also knew that the only people in WaLhi who had any such feeling were the parasite class who live on the workers. The workers will learn to know their friends shortly. " Make arbitration' compulsory " — in God's own free country! E. HARTLEY.
