ing the shipowners' position m thei legitimate callings, but for the crushing of Unionism. The Union Company afc first nobly refused to join it, but were afterwards compelled to do so, under the threat that : they did not, a fleet of steamers would be sent across to New Zealand to run opposition to them m their own waters. Now, mark Sir, what would have been the result if that were so ? It would mean a reduc tion of fully 30 per cent on the present freights The value of exports from New Zealand to Australia is estimated at £1,600,000, and of imports from Australia to New Zealand £1,177,000. When we consider the thousands of tons of produce this money represents, it will be easily seen that by breaking up this monopoly the farmer would be the gainer, and yet, m the meeting on Saturday the farmers passed a resolution pledging themselves to "support by labor or o-'V'^-wise, to keep the trade of the country iroin being vrißyn%i." On stroke of the pen from the Union Company would sever their connection with the Shipowners' Associa tion of Australia, then New Zealand with her Unions would stand alone. The strike would be ended. Australian labor would not affect New Zealand, neither would New Zealand labor affect Australia. Bui this would mean breaking; up the monopoly and a reduction m freight, and that will never do, so the strike continues and the farmer suffers. I now come to the resolution moved by Mr D. William son, "That an Association be formed . called the Ashburton Farmers and Em ployers' Association, the object of which is to secure for its members unity of action and protection of their just interests, etc." I must say ie is a step m the right direction, and will receive my hearty support, but I would like to ask Mr Williamson what good the above Association would do, if it was moulded on the lines Mr Williamson lays down for Labor Unions, I will quote Mr William son's own words—"l believe m Unionism, and Unions are right enough as long as they don't affiliate with each other." If the above motion finished at the word "interests" it would simply mean no thing, but Mr Williamson is aware that unity is strength, so he generously adds, with a view to affiliation with other kindred Associations. What is sauce for the goose surely ought to be sauce for the gander. The last motion, Mr Editor, I'll take for what it is worth. The high compliment paid to Mr Stead by the farmers of Ashburton, I have not the least doubt, will be graciously received, but if wheat is 4s per bushel next year, most likely he will return the farmers thanks back again m the shape of ship ping Californian wheat to the Sydney market, to the detriment of growers and shippers m Ashburton. Thanking you, Mr Editor, for your valuable space.—l am, etc., Reason.

The mates m these cases always acting m the most loyal, true, and kind manner to the unfortunate sufferers. Two cases of mishaps arrived m town on Saturday. A poor fellow while cutting bush at the side of a stream made an awful gash m the call of his leg, he was a big man and hi« mate much smaller. The wounded man could not walk so the little fellow carried his mate seven miles on his back over a rough Bush track, he then met another man who helped carry him another eleven miles, thereat was done m a dray, and he is lying at the Red Lion Hotel. Another case was as fol lows :—Thomaa Kennerley, while cutting bush some miles beyond Kennedys, missed his stroke m some way and cut a nasty gash iv Ms instep.

Everything went on well enough m Mr Duncan's office till Fri day night, when Mr Goldberg, who had the key of the safe m his possession, took a re turn ticket to Christchurch. He did not return on Saturday, and about midday Mr Duncan found it necessary to have the safe broken open. The safe was found to be empty of its valuables, about £7 m money having disappeared. Mr Duncan informed the police, and a warrant was issued for the *i est of the absconder. Steps were also taken to track him, and detective information is to the effect that he was traced on board the Manapouri, which sailed on Friday night for Wellington, at which port she arrived before a telegram re the passenger she was supposed to carry reached the city, so that the party wanted had time to get ashore. News of his arrest may be looked for, how ever, at any moment.

Labor Troubles

[PEK ritESS ASSOCIATION. I Oamabu, September 8. The Wakatipu arrived from Lyttelton at 8 a.m. The lumpers were immediately called out, and came to a man. One hundred and fifty non-union laborers available were persuaded not to work. The carters and storemen also struck. One hatch was worked by three or four non-union laborers and crew, the railway men working the trucks. It is stated the vessel ia inefficiently manned, the majority of the crew being inexperienced farm hands. No disturbances took place save a little jeering from larrikins, the Unionists holding aloof. It is rumored the crew will be persuaded to strike. Arrived—Margaret Galbraith, from Auckland. The Secretary of the Lumpers' Union wired to the Maritime Council to know if the vessel is to be worked.
