TO SETTLE STRIKES.
A. member of the Masterton •A. ana P. Association echoed the opinion on Saturday last that theronly way to effectively put a stop to strikes'was to wipe out the poll-tax on Chinata-m, and allow the country to be floods with Asiatics. The adoption of a course so extreme as this would not, we venture to say, meet with generall. approval. Nevertheless, the time h.ts come when some decisive measures must be taken to prevent a few a.{. tators and malcontents from disorganising the whole trade of the country. The first .step 'should be to wipe out the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, which, lias proved itself utte-ly liseless as a means of preventing strikes. The next should be the pass.' ing of legislation making it penal for any person to leave his work without due notice, or for any individual, agitator or otherwise, to incite' men to strike. Something of this sort will have to be done sooner or later, aid ' the sooner it is done the better.
