Idr of ninejackets from
IlrltUh Battleships.
WELLINGTON, N. 7... Oct. M.-A short
age ot food and fuel, with Its accompany
ing privations for the poorer classes, la
commencing to be felt throughout New
Zealand as a result of a general strike ot
coal miner and dockers.
Work has ceased In many trades In
every part of New Zealand. In Welling
ton and Auckland, the two principal
cities, continued rioting haa brought
nbout the landing ot blue jackets from
lirlUsh warships to assist In preserving
order. The blue jackets are assigned
primarily to protect the man engaged In
loading fruit on vessels at the docks and
to see that passengers are allowed to em
bark or land from steamers without mo
lestation. Tho struggle, which haa led to this se
rious ststc of at'falra. Is a trial of
strength between the employers and the
Federation of Labor. The latter organ
ization Is not registered under the pro
visions of the compulsory arbitration act
passed In lilt, by the terms of which any
persons Inciting workmen to strike or
any employers ordering a lockout with
out first going to arbitration' are liable
to severe penalties.
The labor upheaval began with a strike
of shipwrights several weeks ago. The
rnn demanded higher wages, Improved
working conditions and recognition ot
their union The dockers and miners
shortly afterward laid down their tools In
sympathy ,and other trades followed their
example, until a large proportion of the
organized labor ot the dominion haa
ceased work.

three miles south nud six miles east of
"rfend, who was Instantly killed Satin
lay evening, camn to his death by the
discharge of a No. 11 gun ahell In hla
own hands, so said the coroner's jury by
Its verdict yesterday, In tho presence ot
the coroner and county attorney, after a
further examination from Sunday, when
the Investigation started. The story of
the boys was that deceased had a shell
it) his hands, was Playing with It. that
lie was tapping on It when It went off,
the charge taking off one side of his
head. Tho story was doubted very much
by tho coroner, because If the shell was
discharged In the hands of the boy the
charge would be scattered In all direc
tion tho ahell having a paper covering,
and there would be evidence of the dis
charge .In the boy's hands, which there
was not. The county attorney was not
entirely satisfied with the verdict, but the
coroaer accepted the verdict of the Jury.
