THE WAIHI TROUBLE.
SETTLING DOWN
(Per Press Association.)
WAIHI, Oct. 28
A well attended meeting of miners working under the arbitration laws was held here on Saturday to elect officers. - The men were enthusiastic, and expressed satisfaction at the progress being made by the secretary, who had been kept busy enrolling names and taking subscriptions. It is anticipated that a number of local men will enroi in the course of the next few days. At a meeting at Waikino -a number of new names were handed in for membership.
All credit has been stopped at Karangahake owing to the recent stoppage of work in the Talisman mine.
Transmission poles in connection with the Waihi Company's electrical powerscheme are now within three miles of Waihi, and the installation is expected to be ready early next year. During the usual demonstration accorded the workers coming off shift this afternoon, a youth snap-shotted a prominent suffragette, or, "as now termed, "scarlet runners." The woman promptly resented being photographed, and made a dash for the camera fiend, seized him, and was administering vigorous punishment when the police rescued the hapless snao-shotter.
