THE SHEARERS.

[Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON. October 19. In connection with the probability of prosecutions arising out of a meeting of shearers in Masterton recently, at which a resolution was passed* in favour of demanding 25s per 100 for shearing instead of 20s, such resolutions being a contravention of jhe Act, Mr Laracy, secretary of the Shearers' Association, states that his executive had nothing to do with tho proceedings. No few shearers in ono district had the privilege of saying what the whole of the! shearers should do. His executive had never been consulted, and' accepted no responsibility whatever for the meeting.
