A GENERAL STRIKE
.NOT TO BE CALLED. / Bv TeUaravh—frejii Association.) CHRISTCRURCH, Last Night. Mr E. J. Howard, a member of the executive of the Federation of Labour, in an interview, stated that some difficulty was being experienced in keeping some of the affiliated unions from stri king out of sympathy with the Waihi men. The executive, however, knew of a few' things that made it not worth while to call a general strike at the present time. The industrial concerns had stocks of coal, and only householders would suffer. If a general strike was called,, it would be when wool and grain operations were in progress in the Dominion. He alleged that only four WaTTii strikers had returned to work, the others being from Waikino. The Federation was in a position to keep the strike going till Christmas. Men and women in all parts of the Dominion had offered to take the places of the men in gaol.
