POSITION AT AUCKLAND.
The most serious striks news this morning is that from Auckland. It would appear that the Labour Federation has captured several of the Unions in that city, and that if the special constables appear on the waterfront there will be an extensive strike. This would possibly be the best thing that could happen, for it would bring the strikers and their «families more quickly to their senses. The Employers' Association in the north has made it clear that the Federation of Labour will not be recognised in any shape or form. If, then, the watersiders on strike will not work the ships, as Arbitrationifets, it will be the duty of the country settlers and their sons to follow the example of Wellington and form a new union. The responsibility for what-may happen will* rest entirely with the Federationusts, and not with those who are ready and willing to work. It is unfortunate for Auckland that the prospects for its Exhibition should be injured; but the !toss of a dozen exhibitions is flfi nothing compared with 'the loss the Dominion would sustain if the revolutionaries were permitted to gain the I control of the public service.
