INADEQUATE PUNISHMENT.
REFEREES ON STRIKE. ULTIMATUM TO UNION. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, Monday. The Rugby football referees in North Taranaki are on strike. Recently several player* hays been reported to the union, and v..a referees resent what they regard as lenient treatment. The referees discussed the matter tonight, and resolved: "That the Taranaki Rugby Union, by its continued leniency to offenders, having made it increasingly difficult for referees to control matches, the members of this association decide that until we arc assured by the Management Committee of the Rugby Union that adequate punishment will be meted out to players ordered off, no further matches be taken by the members of this division of this association." It was also decided to send a circular to the central and southern divisions of the Taranaki Referees' Association with copies of the resolution.
