AFFAIRS AT WAIHI
QUESTION OF FREE LABOURERS
(By Telegraph — l'ress Association.)
WAIHI, Last Night
In regard to the possibility of free labourers coming to Waihi Mr Parry, president of the Miners' Union, addressing a mass meeting to-day, said that he had written to the Federation askim; the officials to interview the head of the Railway Workers' Union requesting the latter not to carry free labourers. If free labourers came to Waihi it would be necessary to have an organised campaign to moot them. A reply had been received from Mr Glover sating that ho would interview the Union as requested. Mr Parry added that it would be necessary to have thirty or forty men at the committee's disposal in the event of free labourers coming here, and also that "the police and military would only-be too pleased to put portion of last Sunday's dinner on a piece of cold steel."
