STRIKE COMMITTEE'S STATEMENT.
FKDKRATIONIST SIDE OF 'rtrTE QUESTION.
WELLINGTON. Last Night. Tho Striko Committee's statement adds that this trouble has been caused bv tho Union Company and the New Zealand Shipping Company in an endeavour to crush out a militant union. Their success at Timaru led them to think that if the same tactics followed in Wellington, they would result in tho fonnation and maintenance of a, bogus Arbitration union, ready to obey the behests of the companies' officials, 'placed inside th)j ■union's ranks. The committee adds that it is thought that certain local labour officials are opposing the Federation of Lalxnir and the rank and filo with it, and calling special meetings. The Hon. J. Rigg, in all interview, stated that any unionist who endeavoured to break up tho solidarity orf tho workers at tho present time was a traitor to tho labour cause. Hia considers it the duty of every true unionist to stand by th ft strikers whether or wrong. He thinka the Government should act and effect a settlement.
