The bakeis expect a reduction m the price of flour. Gkkymouth, September 22. At the meeting m the Town H.ill at 11 o'clock this morning, the Mayor m the chair, the speeches were brief. It was insinuated that Government by removing the tug at the present juncture was play ing into the hands of the monopolists. It wns said the Maritime Council was arranging for chartering vessels for tins port, and taking away the tug would embarrass them.—lt was resolved—l. " That m the opinion of this meeting the fiction of the Harbor Brw-l hi removing the tug to Westport U dos.-imenlal to the interests of the port and r»>Mporti.mo, teeing that a large number of sailing vessels are owning to the port at the present time." 2." "If a reduction m the expen diture is deemed necessary, this meeting is of opinion that the tug can with equal safety be laid up at Greymouth, where her services must be from time to time required. On such occasions she could be manned by the Harbor Department at a very small cost." The foregoing resolu tions were wired to the Premier. At a large meeting of miners at Brunner ton this forenoon the following resolutions were carried unanimously :—(1) That no more coals be supplied to the Union Com pany's boats ; (2) that objections be made it© the Government re the removal of the tug Westland ; (3) that provisions and money be distributed to those most m need ; (4) that all tools be fetched out of the mine by nine o'clock to-morrow morn ing ; (5) that Executive select members to attend meeting to bo held at Greymouth this evening ; (6) that this Association assist others m the Grey m the selection of a member for Parliament. If the black legs are introduced into the mines it is considered very probable that all the engine drivers will be called out. A densely packed meeting at the Pub lic Hall to-night was addressed by the leading Brunner miners. The following resolutions were passed :—" 1. That this meeting strongly protests against the Government's action m making a display of force amongst peaceful citizens, and regards it more as a menace calculated to cause a disturbance than allay antagonistic feeling, and the Government's action m concentrating a force at Greymouth and withdrawing the tug gives color to the general feeling that they are supporting the employers against the employees ; (2) that m the opinion of this meeting the Grey Valley Coal Company are to blame for breaking their pledge to the Miners' Association, as joining the Shipping Companies against the Unionists is detri mental to the interests of the Valley ; (3) that it is expedient that a mass meeting be called by the inhabitants of the Grey Valley to consider the present labor difficulty on Wednesday next." Most of the speakers contended that the Govern ment and the Railway Commissioners were working m the interests of the Union Company. Dunedin, September 22. John Clune, one of the men arrested for assaulting non-Unionists on and about the wharf, was to-day fined £5 or a month's imprisonment and bound over to keep the peace for six months. Two others are to appear m connection with these assaults, which have been so fre quent that most of the non-Unionists have provided themselves with firearms. Wellington, September 22. A Labor Conference has been convened for Wednesday, October Ist. The Union Company have decided to revert to the old weekly service from Dunedin to Manukau, but will only run a fortnightly service to Melbourne and Sydney until the summer sets m. The Shipwrights Society, which recently reso'ved that no work should be done for the Union Company, have rescinded that motion, and have now decided that any member be free to work for any employer he choose. A meeting of storemen, attended by 60 men, resolved to adhere to their allegiance to the Trades and Labor Council. The permanent malitia have been with drawn from street duty. A dispute arose between some Maoris on Saturday night at Greytown North, when it is alleged one of them, who is a volunteer, drew his sword and inflicted wounds on three persons before he was disarmed. The constable from that dis trict, who had been on duty m Welling ton during the labor struggle, returned to Greytown this morning. The proposed conference between em ployers and employed is to be held here on Wednesday, Ist October,

THE DISMISSED RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.

The following is the official report of the Railway Commissioners to the Acting Premier with regard to the dismissal of the four Christchurch employees :— The Hon. the Acting'Premier—ln reply to your request for an explanation regard ing the dismissal of four railway em ployees at Christchurch, we have the honor to report as follows : —The four men are Messrs Owen, Winter, Elvines, and Newton, who were members of the Executive Committee of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, a deputation from which waited on the Commissioners m June last m Wellington, the interviews with whom are recorded m Parliamentary Paper D.—4 of this session. The deputa tion gave an expression of loyalty to the service, through the President, who said ; — "The Executive . , , , counsel obedience to superiors, strict attention to duty, and an honest performance of work." By letter rom the Secretary of the Society, dated the 28th August, 1890, the Commisft oners received the following assurance:-—" This Executive does not wish the Commissioners to be under the impression that the Society upholds em ployees who may be guilty of insubordi nation." And on the 28th August we received also the following telegram:— "Informed loco, foreman, Wellington, siskin* men whether they will strike. TrustVeport false. No strike anticipated railway men.— W, J. Edwards." On the 29th August nearly the whole staff on the Westport railway refused to do duty m connection with runniug and discharging of coal trucks at the railway staiths. ()n the 2nd September ft numlxer of traffic and permanent way men at Lyttelton de clined duty m connection with handling goods. | The Commissioners, believing the $smu rances of the Society, at first thought that the action of the employees m strik ing was due to excitement and external pressure. The men at Lyttelton, however, stated that they had been "called out" by " the Executive," and on rft&eiot of mails from Westporfc we found also the follow ing order had been issued there:—" Wes tport, 30fch August, 1890.—Sir,—I have the honor to inform you, by instructions from the Executive o£ the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, fchat engine drivers, firemen md guards are instructed not to shunt coajs on fctaiths,--Charles Rey nolds, Secretary, A.S.R.S., Westport Branch- T. A, Peterkjn, Esq., District Manager, N,55, Railways," At a meeting held on the 3wl September at Christchurch, which was irspoi'ted m the local newspapers, and at which the President-and Secretary were present, and Messrs Winter, Owen, Newton and Elvines spoke, the following resolution wjw proposed and carried wnimimously:— "That this meeting express £t« un qualified approval and admiration of the manner m wnich the mon now out on strike, both here and tit Westport, have respond^ to the call of the Executive,

end pledges itself to come out to a man, n called upon, either to assist-, m termi nating the present struggle or to force I bo reinstatement, of the muu now out. On tha motion of Mr Winter. Tho Commissioners, while they coulci not allow employees m their service to be openly counselling rebellion and dis obedience, wero unwilling to t-ike a vantage of the wen's imprudence during inonie"iits of undue excitement ; but, as tijoy find it necessary that obemenee and order shall be maintained, they deter mined to remind the employees that strict obedience m future must be observed. They therefore issued the iollowing cir cular -—"Circular, No. 90-43, Head office, Wellington, 6th September, 1890. To all railway employees—The Ivailwr.y Com missioners have found with regret that some of their employees have been persuaded to acb recklessly and foolishly m disobeying orders, and that they have broken faith by refusing to observe the rules of their engagement, The Commissioners desire to remind all their employees that the only condition on which they can be employed as public servants on the Government railways is that they strictly obey the rules and regu lations made under the authority of the laws of the co'ony. Those employees who cannot conscientiously continue to obey the rules are advised to give notice m a proper and orderly manner and to resign their places. Those who, as heretofore, do their duty as public servants faithfully and loyally, will have the entire support and assistant of the Commissioners m any difficulties which may arise.—Jas. McKerrow, J. I. Maxwell, W. M. Han nay, Railway Commissioners." " Officers m charge will please supply a copy of this to each employee, obtain receipt:;, and send them to then- District Officer." This circular was followed up by an order which required that the four employees who were specially counselling the others to disobey should give an undertaking to refrain from doing so m the future. The men preferred to take their discharge to pledging themselves as required.
