WAIHI MINERS.

PROPOSED CANCELLATION

OF REGISTRATION

ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE

A special meeting of the Waihi Miners' Union was held on Saturday

evening to consider notices of motion relative to the matter of cancellation of registration under the Arbitration Act, and withdrawal from the federation of labour. Mr Parry presided, and there was'a good attendance. It was resolved unanimously, with the exception of one vote, that the necessary steps be taken with a view to cancelling registration, and that anew system of balloting be adopted. A motion to withdraw from the Federation of Labour was lost, only tour votes being cast in its favour. A meeting ot the Union Committee endorsed the action ot the Auckland Labourers' Union in prohibiting subcontracting, and deplored the tact that members ot miners' unions had ignored the resolution passed to that effect.

The Waihi Union has now issued notices' to members to adhere to the

resolution,
