The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1893.

Foe many miles round the Temple of Juggernaut, the whitoning bones of pilgrims are recorded to have been seen lying on the spot where tho devotees perished, Many of them are reported to have sought death by i flinging themselves beneath the wheels of Juggernaut's car, a car that bore a monstrous idol representing the Lord of the universe. No doubt tho pilgrims who were wont to fling themselves under the orunching wheels of (his Moloch of vehicles did not allow themselves tg be flattened out and obliterated- because' they enjoyed or relished this species of torture and agonising annihilation. Probably if they had any choice in tho matter they would have kept a >'Aspectiul distance from the car, and watched t!l?ir neighbours and friends' cut info, sections or flattened into pancakes by t|o revolving wheel?. But this was an affair in which they had no option, it was a matter of. etiquettethattbey Bhouldbe pounded | into a jelly, they lost caste if they did i not submit to be pulped,'and no doubt when they flung themselves j under -the heavy remorseless" discs; they cursed in their, hearts the stony image in the car which'mocked'their agonies'. - We, top, in New Zealand have our JuggernauV and the car is drawn forth by those arable arjd estimable - pilgrims, the Maritime Council, who point to the big image " labor,"" thelord ofjhs Universe," and call upon workers jn general to throw themßelves under the wheals. It is ratifying to notice that there ia considerable* on tho part of some handß, noto™? °^ tue railway employees, to allow. ii.*. ia ' selves to he thus sorunohedup, They' acknowledge. the cause, but they openly declare that they hadmuoh rather nothing themselves under the horrible wheels of the car. "If they must, tbeymust," they say, despondingly, but they had much rather not, while a few openly defy Millar and all his works,, and will see the Maritime Council in a very warm quarter before they will throw lip good billetß at its beck and call. It is not for us to say that railway hands shall not throw themselves under the wheels of this Juggornauji car, but it is sad to think that they should do SO; for. their own aakos. We can tell ihenj ou9 thing, and it is only right at a 1 grave crisis like the present the truth j should be spoken. If they yield to the Maritime Council and strike, the other side, the employers and the capitalists, will not beill-pleased. Now, trade is" by a-labor trouble it iB, they''Bay, jundesirftbje that the quarrel should be patohed up too soon, or the victory made too easy, A general strike on the part of railway men will play straight into the hands of those on the other

side Who Lav 6 reluctantly taken up *W> been •forced .to the'- defensive : < will assuredly fight out the tlihigHo the! bitter Still;it does seem to us ;a:oruellM hotrible'tiling ; that; a tyrannieai' fetish' should so bind a wan that lie cannot depend upon bis industry and his good name to support his wife and little ones, but at

~ 6 , - c .aU 0f...a Mariiime Council, of which he'knows little, and oares less,he has to throw up his employment, to voluntarily surrender his livelihood, to break- up his home, to "Cart: , his furniture to the auction room, and possibly see those' that are dear to him wanting food and clothing. .We, Bay this is a cruel and horrible thing; and if this is what a trades union does-for a man, ho is a hundred times better without such a master,

A talented lecturer last evoning,a leader in the labour cause, complained that people in Masterton were toowell off— too comfortable—and expressed a desire to make them discontented, Thisis just'the work in which, the leaders of the labour party take delight, viz, the destruction of the comfort and contentment of tho workers. They come amongst them and find them happy and well to do, and by the time they have done with them they leave them unhappy and penniless. They persuade a man who is earning forty shillings a week into joining an union by telling him a millenium is coming when he will go whacks with the Duke of Westminster or some other bloated capitalist; then they get. him. out on strike and he has fifteen shil-. lings a,wj|-instead ofjorty to.;live' upon, '/TpTßiia-thb brdiii'ary course of \ the disease-and/ the world ; is /ptill composed mostly ot fools and dupes..

Oim local contemporary is glad to learn that in Masterton the sympathies of nearly the /whole of tho business people and farmers, as well as working men, are entirely with the strikers. A storekeper, in whom wo think our contemporary would place confidence, informed us this week that, judging Iran the opinion expressed by all classes of people in his store, public opinion was dead against the strikers. -

The residents of Eketahuna are being affected by tho strike, tho necessaries of life being increased in price. /Why this increase should he, our correspondent fails to understand.

The Police Department seems to be centralising its forcos in Wellington in preparation for any emergency which may arise through the strike.
