THE FARMERS' UNION.
If tho Farmers' Union has never previously justified its existence, it has done so in its attitude over the wateraiders' strike. In the Wairarapa, where its organisation is more complete than in other districts, it was enabled to mobilise a. contingent of special tonstables and horses within » few kewrs, au«i to have the nie» en-tr-aiacd t» Wallinjtoji to protect the i»tereat« of nrs«hiv«iK large and «m«H. 'ilk* afckir>wiittit is oa« of which tke efficials concwned might w«M feel proud. The farawrs, as a kody, are slow to move, but whim tkey are thoroughly aroiused, they stand shoulder to shoulder, as one man. If the industrial crisis does no more than impress the farmers throughout the Dominion with the necessity for combination to resist assaults made upon them as a class, and through them upon tho business community, it will have served a very useful purpose.
