THE STRIKE.
"Junius Junior," commenting upon (be shipping strike, asks whether the Labour Party here took the trouble to inquire from official Labour in England as; to the facts of the seamen's case, or whether it accepted the view of tho strikers themselves. Discussing Mr. C'ombs's contention that the Government- could have paid the extra wages demanded and taxed tho shipping companies for the amount, the correspondent states that the shipping companies would have recouped themselves in freight rales paid by New Zealand producers or British consumers. This could be carried much farther and might result in the Now Zealand farmers being asked to make up the wages of Lascar, Japanese, German, Scandinavian, and French seamen.
