The, weekly meeting of the Greymouth Unemployed Workers’ Movement was held on Wednesdav evening last, Mr E. Nordstrom presiding. Mr Crawford and Mr Tinning addressed the branch in reference to the impend ing wage cuts and extension of hours of work. It was decided to call a special meeting of th e West Coast District Council, the meeting to .take place on Saturday, September 24. Al! branches were urged to send a delegate to Greymouth on Saturday. ft was urged that concerted action was i their only hope of resisting the scandalous wage cuts which are being forced along now, so again they asked every Coast branch that was opposed to an “Asquithiau policy of wait and see” to go all out and be represented at the District Council meeting to morrow. Information from Wellington emphasised the fact that in both wattes and conditions the position of tee country unem- loyed was infinitely worse than that of the city unemployed.

“Astonishing to say,” writes Captain Marvel, in a popular London weekly, “ there are still folks who know so little about New Zealand that they suppose it is part of Australia, and inhabited chiefly by cannibals. IV hat will they say when I tell them that ‘Maoriland’ contains thriving and populous cities, with all the necessaries and most of the luxuries of civilisation including, by the way, some of the finest tobacco I have ever smoked. The culture of this tobacco and its manufacture now constitute a flourishing New Zealand industry giving employment, directly and indirectly, to I many hands. Some of the foreign tobaccos are not as free from nicotine as they should be, but little fault can be found with the New Zealand article in that respect, because the special process to which it is subjected by the manufacturers rids it of excess ot nicotine and renders it safe to smoke. Even connoisseurs commend it.” (Reference is made by this writer to the four toasted brands (there are no others) Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10). b
