THE RAILWAY STRIKE.

MEETING OP WORKING MEJT.

A meeting of working men was convened last evening, outside the Albert Barrack Gates, to discuss the action of the govern ment contractor in imposing nine hours labor on the employees of the Auckland and Waikato Railway. The meeting was addressed by a number of labouring men, who condemned the action taken by their employers in attempting to increase the number of working hours in the contstruc tion of the railway, which they all agreed to resist. It was resolved by the meeting that as eight hours per day was the uniform time of labour in the colony, no working man would agree to work longer than that tim*?. A drunken man, who called him self an Irishrn.au, but had a broad Scottish accentrendeavoured to cause a disturbance in the meeting, but was advised to with draw, and eventually had to be removed. We regret that owing to the arrival of the Suez mail, we are compelled to condense our report of the meeting, which was con ducted in an orderly manner throughout.

AUCKLAND ANNUAL REGATTA.

Eveet arrangement is being made by the Regatta Committee to make the forthcom ing Regatta on Monday next a greater success than previous years. There is, however, a lack of subscriptions from the public, and without sufficient funds the committee have their hands tied. It is to be hoped that friends will kindly respond to the appeal, and swell the sub scription lists with their names, and the treasury of the committee with their donations. The distances for the various races (with one or two exceptions, which will depend on the weather) have been fixed, and a full programme published. The charge for jadmission to the end of the wharf will be one shilling, and, con sidering the safety of the public, this is a wise precaution—it will prevent undue crowding and risks of submersion from over anxiety of people to see the sports. We understand that the commander of H. M. S. Blanche has written to the Regatta Committee, and placed that vessel at their disposal as a flagship, offering at the same time to provide lunch for 300 visitors. This praiseworthy offer has been however declined, as considering they are about to let the right of charging for admission to the end of the wharf, it would not be fair to the successful tenderer to compete with him by charging for admission to the flagship. Every morning and evening various crews are to be seen in active training on the river. It is to be hoped the weather will prove favorable this year.

EIGHT HOURS' MOVEMENT.

To the Editor of the Evening Star: S IE> —i have to thank you for the noble sentiments you have expressed on the subject of the strike of the railway em ployees, and trust that the working men of Auckland will have no compromising, but will once for all have the eight hours' system inaugurated, and would propose that a meeting be at once called for that purpose. I think that no man can, with any justice either to himself or employer, work more than eight hours per day, and I hope the men who have now struck for that which is fairly their due will remem ber that the whole of the working men of Auckland are interested in their struggle, and hope that you will continue, as you have always done,-to uphold the right of the working man, and am sure that you will not lack support to your spirited journal. I am, &c, Labobeb,
