THE WAIHI STRIKE.
BOARDING HOUSES BOYCOTTED. SHORTAGE OF COAL. [HY TKLKUHAPII. —PK.KSS ASSOCIATION.] Waihi, This Day. The strikers are boycotting all boarding houses where non-strikers have their abode. The non-strikers are ferreted out and the landlord or landlady requested to turn them out at a moment's notice, otherwise the strikers will leave in a body. In this the strikers are being successful as boardinghouse proprietors prefer asking one boarder to go rather than lose twenty. A large number of non-strikers are preparing to leave town, and some already have departed. Local coal dealers are refusing to fulfil orders for household coal. UNION OFFICIALISM. Auckland, This Day.
