" WILL NOT BE STARVED."
THREATS OF A LEADER. SHOPS MAY BE BROKEN INTO. SHEEP AND FORAGING PARTIES. (sPECUt TO "TUB I*RESS.") WELLINGTON, October 29. Mr P. Fraser, President of the Social Democratic 'Party, hotly denounced "scab" labour during tho course of a vehement speech. As long as there was no attempt to tako the bread away from the strikers' wives and children, ho said, thero would be no violence, but if an effort was instituted to \rork the cargo by "scabs," then it would have to be prevented, even if fitory one of the strikers was shot dead. As he had stated the previous day, they would not be starved out; tncre was food in the shops here that was pro duoed by the working class, and the shops, if necessary, could be broken into by the working class. So long as thero was food in Wellington thoy wero not going to starve; bo long ns there was a sheep in.the country they could send out foraging parties to get food.
