A NEW MINERS UNION.
J lie Union of miners just formed at Wnihi under tho Arbitration Act sounds the death knoll to the' Federation of Labour. The latter bodv lias deluded a section of the workers into thinking, that the time is .ripo for syndicalism, and that an order to "down tools" would be immediately l-esponded to by all brandies of labour. The intelligent worker has measured the cost of such a pernicious doctrine, and has rightly resolved to steer clear of it. The Waihi strikers may hold out for a few weeks longer iu the hope of a revolution. But- the starting of the mines under a new registered Union, and the determination of the general body of labourers not to be coerced, will bring the majority of the men to their senses, and they will be glad of the opportunity of returning to work.
