THE LABOR STRUGGLE.

Dunbdin, This day. Mr John Frnser, solicitor, who claims to have tho Maritimo Council to retract their steps in the Whitcombo and Tombs matters, writes a lengthy letter to the press, in which he soverely criticises tho nets of the lenders of the labor party, and says in conclusion : "The question now is What is to be done? it is idle looking to Australia for a solution. , Now Zealand will have to adjust matters for herself. New Zealand should never have been dragged into tho quarrel- I feel sure Victoria, had tho ponition here been properly explained, would novel have called New Zealand, but it is now teo lato to cry over spilt milk. Tho Union Company will never iigruc to discharge tho non-unionists now in their en-ploy. The unions, Mr Millar says, will never consent to work with non-union labor, aud this is but i atural, as their rules preclude their doing so. Every day makes the caee of tho unionists worse. I suggest that three fighting , unions—sea, coal, and wharves —suspend" temporarily operation of their unions, and fuse their labor with the present non-union labor ; thus all humiliation would bo avoided, and an orderly honorable retreat secured, and hereafter wo shall see tho unions re-organlaed under wisor counsels, ami I trust with more prudent leaderships."
