WELLINGTON MEAT STRIKE.

FUTILITY OF ARBITRATION AOT.

PERNICIOUS AGITATORS CONDEMNED.

By Telegwipk—Press Asseeiatioa. Palmerston N., Tuesday. At a meeting of the advisory committee of the New Zealand Farmers' Union held at Palmerston to-day, the following resolution was passed: "That in view of the manner in which the men at the Gear Company's and Meat Export Company's works struck work, this executive is strongly of opinion that their demands should be resisted to the ut-' most, and urges farmers in their own interests to support the companies by every means in their pow«r, and if a crisis arises that the producers and their song at some personal sacrifice should even go to the'length of providing labor to carry on the industry; that this' strike is only another instance of the futility of the Conciliation aid Arbitration Act, which leaves the worker free while placing restrictions on the employers, and tiiis executive would urge Parliament to provide some more suitable means of adjusting disputes of this nature which would leave the adjustment to those in the trade, and deal summarily with those pernicious agitators who are so often alone responsible for interfering with the harmonious relationship existing between the employers and their employees."
