The resolution aa"iik carried unanimously. A Committee of 7 was appointed to

deal with data re building of a Mineral Hail. Another accident to record this week. J. Gilbert had one of his ankles badly crushed by skips on a jig in Ralph's mine. Twenty years ago there lived a butcher in Devonport, Auckland. At that period he dealt in the animal strata to which the cow and the sheep be!ong. To-day he is a director of a. coal mining company, and judging from tho many broken lives around, the comrades who have unfortunately lost their eyes and the maimed, 1 am constrained to say that he" is still in the trade. An evolved butcher! Congratulations on the page issue. Our hearts are braced the fight for freedom BIBEY BANJO.
