INDUSTRIAL UNREST.

■'the STRIKE AT WAiHI. (Per Press Association.) Waihi, October 28. A wcll-attended meeting of miners working under the arbitration laws was hold here on Saturday to elect officers. The men were enthusiastic, and expressed satisfaction at the progress being made by the secretary, who had been kept busy enrolling names and taking subscriptions. It is anticipated that a number of local men will enrol in the course of the next few days. At a meeting at Waikina a number of new names were handed in for membership. All credit has been stopped at Karangahake, owing to recent stoppage of work in the Talisman mine. The transmission poles in connection with the Waihi Company’s electrical power scheme are now within three miles of Waihi. The installation is expected to be ready early next year. During the usual demonstration accorded to the workers coming off the shift this afternoon a youth snapshotted a prominent suffragette, or, asAhey are now termed, “scarlet runners.” The woman promptly resented being photographed, and made a dash for the camera fiend, seized him, and was administering vigorous punishment when the police rescued the haplos snapshotter.
