SHEARING MATTERS.
(Received, February 28,10.45 a.m.) Sydhky, February 28, The annual report of tho Australian Workers' Union, has been submitted to the Workers' Conference and, in referring to the recent shearing difficulties, says, "Wo can unhesitatingly claim a victory, When a full list is made up, it will be found, that not moro than twentyfive per cent, of the sheds, shore under the new agreement, and prac. tically the Pastoralists' Union A knowlodged itself beaten, by its confessed inability to supply men. It was also intended that if they had been successful hero to carry the war iuto N.Z., but the defeat of the Pastoralists Union on this side has caused tho Maoriland squatters to givo up the idea that this labour in that Colony was left alono. It is quite clear that the real object of the PastoralistsUuionand thoßanks was to crash the men's organisation and then make up for it by a fifty per cent, reduction in wages."
