This land was years ago praised by
me as the land of no strikes. but the
spirit of my dreams has changed with
the passing years, and strikes are
common occurrences in nearly all ac-
tivities. Since l have been here there
has been a watcrside workers' strike,
which practically tied UP every ship on
the coast. Tho workers and ship own
ers seem to have had an agreement
covering strike questions. but without
any connection whatever, each indi-
vidual for himself simply refused TO
work. OF courso you can't take away
a mans liberty. so each quit on his
own account. 1t is now settled but
I saw them loading tho ship on which
am to 10 to Australia, and must say
never saw such soldering on any
job as those men did. They had eleven

grain would make one sick who had
been accustomed to seeing men handle
goods in America. AS Go-Siowcrs
they are the limit I am hoping our
American workmen hAvo not the same
microbe.
New Zealand. from \ business point
OF view. is facing hard times. Wool.

land as high as $50 an acre. While
farm LANDS sold for the exhorbitant
price OF $500 an aero. The butter ana
chcesc in New Zealand has all been
controlled by the British Government,
but this Is the last day. Tomorrow
the New Zealand government is tax

also flour and bread. Bread sells for
Sd. for two pound loaf. But VIC would
not call IL good.

taken the matter in hand. They have

tho price the consumers pay. which to-
day is I'D. a pint to all consumers up

no two milk carts serve tho same

and saving of expense. Tho profits Of
tho plant are covered into the city
treasury. and Of course. N II makes
