"ON STRIKE."
TROUBLE WITH THE WELLINGTON SUBMARINE VOLUNTEERS. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 25. Since the beginning oi March the Wellington Submarine Mining Volunteers have been on strike on account of dissatisfaction with the management of the company's affairs by the officer commanding. In that month they wrote to this officer detailing their grievances, and asking that the letter be forwarded to the officer commanding the district, with a request that an inquiry be held into the matter. Nothing more was heard of that letter. The men determined to stay away from parades until an inquiry was held, and did so. The Defence Department did nothing until a few days ago, when it issued an order for the company to parade tonight to receive the Engineers' Shield, lately won by it. It was felt that this was a crucial point in the mutiny, and much interest was taken in the matter. At the appointed time 43 men appeared on parade, out of 80 odd in the corps. The InspectorGeneral (Colonel Da vies) sternly addressed the men, and then ordered those who intended to obey orders in future to march forward. The whole number thereupon marched forward. It is nropable that the mutiny has now ended.
