A lartie arnuunt of correspondence was dealt with, including a letter from the Gore branch stating that the W aikaia agency wished to be constituted a separate branch, with plenary powers ; and as the members were chief!}* miners, it was suggested that the Workers' L nion should be brought under " The Mining Act, 1801." Mr O'Brien said he had written for full information concerning the mining regulations, atid hoped to place this before the next meeting. It was resolved that Waikaia should become a branch. Correspondence was received from Australia which stated that the men on strike were gaining ground.

It was unanimously resolved that the secretary should write congratulating the Australian Workers' Union on the success already obtained, and hoping that a speedy terniination of the dispute in favor of the workers would be effected.
