THE WAIHI QUARREL.

The statement recently made in the House, of . Representatives by tho member for Otaki, that tho Waihi quarrel is not between two sections of labour, but between Labour and Capital, has provoked a smart rejoinder from tho Auckland Labour paper, which says:— "Mr Robertson must keen him-

Self singularly aloof from the things of earth of lato if he is unaware that tho quarrel in Waihi is only part of the world-wide quarrel that is raging in the Labour movement

between Anarchism and the Political Labour Movement. If Mr Robertson doesn't speedily return to earth, the chances are that at the next election the electors of Otaki will see to it that Mr Robertson comes back with a jerk. In the meantime we would remind Mr Robertson —and all concerned—that the strike in Waihi is first, last, and all the time an attempt on tho part of the I.W.W. Federation to abolish arbitration in industrial disputes, to abolish Parliamentary action by the working class a« a means of social betterment, to ab-

olish the United Labour party in New Zealand and to substitute instead the tactics of Syndicalism, i.e., the strike, sectional and general. Therefore, the place for those •who profess to believe in political . Action is on the side of the enginedrivers and winders; those who believe in Syndicalism will support the J.W.W. Federation; those who try to support both will be eventually in the samo position as the person who tried to set on two stools at once, or that other famous person who, trying to sit on the fence, fell off with a dull thud. The Voice can already hear several dull thuds."
