SYMPATHY.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to our unions and their members who suffered so much damage by the recent earthquake. We are specially grieved for our Wairarapa Unions, and pray that they may be helped and guided during the restoration period. To members in the Wellington district we tender sympathy in their losses. But we do rejoice that headquarters escaped serious injury and that while many chimneys in Brougham St. were hurled down, our staunch old building lost only three or four bricks from the top of one chimney. Our pionceis knew how to build chimneys and dwellings to stand firm amid the earthquake shocks of early Wellington, and we today reap the benefit of their exI>eriencc.
