THE WAIHI STRIKE.
POLICE INTERVENTION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Waihi, Tuesday. A hundred strikers assembled at \Vaikino yesterday for the evident purpose of intercepting arbitrationists engaged by the Waihi Company for general work, but a force of police prevented any molestation. The police formed a line two deep at the entrance of a track running through private property and prevented the mob following the arbitrationists, Mr. Parry, president of the Union, said that he would have the conduct of the police investigated, as he was on private business and demanded the right to use the track. The solid front presented by the police prevented a demonstration, and the strikers retired to the township. Waihi at the present time is almost without police, most of them having been transferred to Waikino, and members of the Engine-drivers' Union arc having a lively time. When they appear in public they arc followed to their homes by gangs of strikers, but I 110 violence has so far been attempted.
