THE WAIHI STRIKE.
The "Voice of Labour," which chums to be the only Labour newspaper in New Zealand, has taken the measure of the Federation of Labour pretty well. fn its las't i::suo it says:— "Tile Waih; strike is not a fight against the bosses; it is a fight waged by the anarchists against tho workingclass. / Nobody can deny this—the Federation leaders c:.qnot deny it. Dare they deny that the majority of the New Zealand workers are utterly opposed'to the I.W.W. programme? Dare they deny that the strike was called for no other reason than to coerce and intimidate the drivers and winders into joining the I.W.W ? They cannot! All they can say in reply is to vituperate scab, traitor, capitalist hireling, etc., etc. I n fact the whole power of the leaders of the Kederation lays in their capacity to hurl vituperative epithets at "those 'who differ with or oppose their nv.ul notions of social regeneration via the strike."
