ARBITRATIONISTS AT KAITANGATA. .SYMPATHY WITH HUNTLt. DUNEDIN, This Day. A special meeting of the Kaitangata Miners' Union, which works under the arbitration rules, was held, 62 attending, this being the largest meeting held in the district for a. considerable tune. The meeting discussed a telegram from the Denniston Union with reference to the Huntly strikers, with whom the Denniston men intended to make common cause. Mr. Molvin proposed : " That the Kaitangata Union congratulates the Huntly Union on the stand it has taken as a protest against victimisation, and desires to extend all legal assistance to the strikers." < An amendment was moved to the effect that as the Hnntly men were in the right the Kaitangata miners were prepared to help, and go " the whole hob," if necessary — financial or otherwise. The amendment was carried, four dis- i senting. Though there are 350 miners in the ■district the meeting was considered to be a representative one. The decision was *a big surprise 'to the communty, as Kaitangata is regarded as the home of the arbitrationists.
