AUCKLAND LABOR TROUBLES
"THE GONG- WILL SOUND." By Association. Auckland, Last Night. It is understood that the intentions of the Labor Federation were to some extent announced to-day at meetings of the Tramway Union. A reporter obtained information to the effect that the president and vice-president of the Federation, president of the General Laborers' Union, and Scott Bennett (Socialist) addressed meetings. In the course of remarks, it is understood that they made it clear that they are engaged in a campaign of' organisation of all the unions affiliated or connected with the Federation in the Dominion, and when this is finished, if the Federation is not recognised by the employees to the extent of granting a conference, the gong will sound for a general strike which, if complete, will involve 1700 or 1800 men.
