THE LATE STRIKE.
(r-RISS ASSOCXATIOX TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, March 17. A deputation representing tho Citizens' Committee which acted during the strike waited on the Minister of Justice yesterday, to draw his attention to the fact that a number of unions which went on strike recently in defiance of the Arbitration Act in sympathy with the waterside strikers and others, have not been prosecuted. It was pointed out that there were eighteen such unions in New Zealand, and the deputation urged that the law ought to be put in action against them. The Minister said that the duty of instituting proceedings under tie' Arbitration Act did not rest with his Department but with tho Labour Department. He undertook to inform the Minister of Labour of what the deputation had represented.
