WELLINGTON ITEMS.
[From Our, Oorreseondent.] WELLINGTON, May 26. Empire Day is the subject of more remark than it was yesterday. Then it was a merely official holiday, but the shops were all open and the streets os usual. To-day people are wondering what this portends, and are proposing various methods of preventing a recurrence of the fiasco. Mr Ha&elden, S.M., who takes up the Christchurch business on June 1, will leave for Christchurch on Friday. In the Arbitration Court to-day everything was ready for the hearing of the dispnte filed by the Wellington Slaughterman's Union, employers' representatives, men’s representatives, Judge, witnesses, documents, all present in force, when it was discovered suddenly that the Slaughtermen's Union had ceased to' exist. The notice of the cancellation of the registration was' in last week’s “ Gazette,” the cause being the neglect of the Union to furnish the annual returns to the Registrar. All the Court could do was to advise the Union to re-register and observe the conditions. It transpired before the parties separated that there is no dispute now between the ■ employers end the employed. ;
