Mr Hull, -of Waipawa, has decided not to'again contest the Waipawa seat. lie. ha,s been in the house seventeen years. Several smal vessels were in trouble over Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday night thes cow Moehau capsized off the Railway wharf, when, fortunately, thrre was nobody aboard. Sho was righted by the tug Te Awliina this morning and towed 'to one of the slips. While proceeding from Maliurangi to Whangarei the scow Saxon missed stays and got aground at Maliurangi Heads. An unsuccessful attempt to tow the vessel oir was made by the Te Awliina. Tli's -vessel is apparently undamaged, though she is full of water, and it was hoped to get her oil to-day. A collision "Between the Mahcno and the ferry steamers Osprey and Pupuke was narrowly'averted last evening, the latter vessels getting out of the way by going hard astern at the crucial moment. A miner named Joe McWattcrs was severely injured about the knee at the Hoppers (No. (1 shaft of the Waihi Mine) this morning by a truck knocking him down and'passing over the leg. He was conveyed in an ambulance to the Hospital. At the annual general meeting of members of the Victorian Employers' Federation, it was stated that 70 main strikes and 12 subsidiary ones had occurred in Australia during the 12 "months ended June 30 last. The president said that unless the Labour Party were better advised than they had been, they might do an irrep-ra'ble amount of harm in the country before their term of oflice expired. Employers were at present harassed in every conceivable direction, and the great efforts now being made to place them in subjection to the union "bosses" would have to be strenuously resisted. Manufacturers would, no doubt, with further protection, be ablo to get along for the present, but tho time would come before long when everything must 'become so costly that the general turnover -would be largely reduced, simply because people would not have the money to purchase at the enhanced price. He hoped the president ot the Federal Arbitration Court and the chairmen of the wages boards would ponder over these considerations. A record crowd at Itcndell's removal sale.
