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.
