ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION PROPOSED
AUCKLAND, 18th September. Previous to the demonstration on the Wakatere's arrival, some 200 members of the Waterside- Workers' Union held a meeting and discussed tbe position. It was decided that, on Saturday morning next, at 10 o'clock, work would be stopped on the wharves, and a mass meeting of members of the Federation of Labour should be held at the Grey Statue to protest against the imprisonment of the Waihi strikers, and afterwards a procession would be formed to serenade the gaol. It appears, however, that there is great dissension in the ranks of the iinion. It was pointed out to a 'Herald representative that there -were over 900 financial members, and not one-third of these were present at the meeting when this decision was come to. The "moderate" section in the union now demands that a ballot shall be taken on the question of ceasing work on Saturday morning.
