The local Waterside Union doeß not agree to the new Wellington Union being allowed to affiliate with the Waterßiders' Federation as invited to do by the executive. The strikers having been turned out of the Harbour Board Bhed, where they used to meet obtained the ÜBe of the Old Theatre Royal now shut up. The Crown, however, has just acquired the lease, so their tenure was shortlived. After holding one meeting they found they would have to look elsewhere, and obtained the use of the King's Picture Theare.
