It has been seer tained that during the past two or three weeks hand-bills have been distributed requesting all sawyers to meet at certain eating houses for the purpose of for mataling demands for a hig rise in wages, and of taking concerted action should their employers resist these de- mands. In short, the men have formed themselves into a sort of labour union, but without keeping any official roll of memberships. We understand that repre- sentations were made to the Secretary for Chinese Affairs by a auniber of saw mill owners some days ago regarding the matter, with the result that the leaders of the movement were warned. But it would appear that the warning has not deterred the leaders from bring ing about the organised strike.
