Mr Holwell had been suffering from heart trouble and had been receiving medical attention for some time, consequently there will be no inquest. Great sympathy is felt in the district for Airs Hollwell and family. The funeral will take place privately.

Interviewed prior to his departure from Waimate on Saturday, Mr H. Holland, M.P., said that some people seemed to be under the impression that he .— and was, the leader of the Alliance of Labor, but every well-informed person knew that he was speaking for the New Zealand Labor Party and the Parliamentary Labor Party, and not for the Alliance of Labor, which was a. purely industrial organisation. The industrial unions in which he held membership were not affiliated with the Alliance of Labor, and he did not know why he had been presented as the leader of the Alliance. Speaking in regard to the affiliation of the P. and T. Association with the Alliance Mr Holland remarked that the Government had decided to rednee the pay of many of the public servants, and now the public servants were merely getting what a lot of them voted for when they supported the Massey Government, and they did not want it. The Labor Party fought against reduction, Mr Massey said reductions were imperative because he had no money to go on with, , but the Budget showed a surplus of £6,000,000 and an accumulated surplus of between £23,000,000 and £24,000,000. Mr Holland thought saving of a few millions in wages would only hit the shopkeeper, owing to lowering the purchasing power of the worker.

The generous action of the Dunedin master tailors is to be commended and will be fully appreciated by the general public (says the Otago Daily Times), for at a very representative meeting on Thursday night they unanimously decided that although the bonus reduction of 5s on male workers’ wages and 2 S 6d on female workers, represented a saving of only 2s 6d in the cost of production of a suit or costume they would give the public the full benefit and so would take the 5s bonus off the regular marked price of all their suits and costumes as from Monday, 15th inst.

Having been officially discouraged in Wellington, eight young women endeavored to force the issue by attending the Miramar grounds on Saturday and challenging two junior teams to give them a game. The girls were well garbed for the occasion. They wore smart velveteen caps with a monogram stitched in gilt letters, and their woollen jerseys were of yellow and black bands, similar to those of the Wellington Football Club. They had the smart close-fitting blue knickers, such as are worn by international piayers, and solidly made. Football boots completed their football rig, which was partly hidden by overcoats or sweaters. As their challenge could! not be accepted, they took possession of part of the ground for practice, showing fair skill in running, passing and kicking. Then they good humoredly barracked the male footballers until two were injured, and there came another opportunity. The girls dashed on to the ground and promptly offered their services as substitutes. Yes, they knew the rules, even to the amended Auckland code if it was required of them. The captain scratched his head, pleaded, urged and cajoled, and the young men did not know what to do. Although he was sorely tempted to acquiesce he decided to submit the matter to the referee, Mr R. McCullough, who had charge of the game. He gave his decision promptly that the girls could not be allowed to play. Two of them would not take no for answer, and for some minutes held up the game in a persistent effort to get the referee to reconsider his verdict, eventually giving in. The fair footballers spent the remainder of the afternoon endeavoring to arrange a match next Saturday.

In sentencing John Arbuckle for embezzlement of the Miners’ Federation funds, the Judge said that it might be revised by the Prison Board upon accused convincing the Board that none of the £2OOO was stow, ed away, and giving such information as might lead to the Board recovering some portion of the money gambled away. Arbuckle pleaded he drew insufficient remuneration. He had to pay £3 10s weekly in expenses and travelling, and 10s fortnightly dues, leaving insufficient balance to maintain liis wife and children.. Hoping to to retrieve the position he used the first £lOO for gambling but got deeper ’in debt until he was finally and irretrievably lost. A rider was attached condemning the Miners’ Union Officials for the lax and careless methods in keeping accounts and handling money.

A P.A. message from Napier says a largely attended public meeting on Saturday, called with the object of protesting against the Borough Council’s decision to dispense with the services of the manager of the tramways, the Electrical Engineer, and six other employees in the tramways and electric lighting department, had a somewhat negative result. After the difficulty of procuring the chairman for the meeting had been overcome, an irregular discussion preceded the moving of a motion suggesting that the Council be requested to reconsider the decision relating to' the two heads of the Department pending an investigation by a competent electrical engineer and an accountant. An amendment was then moved that “the meeting take no consideration of salaried employees while wage-earners are not being considered.” The amendment was declared carried and the meeting terminated without any further proposals being made.
