STRONG OPPOSITION AT LABOUR MEETING. The big Labour meeting in the King's Theatre last night was overwhelmingly in opposition to the Government's reported proposal to call up for military service youths of nineteen years; A contemptuous reference by Mr. Webb to this scheme to save the Government from the necessity of calling upon the Second Division men drew from the audience a .long and vigorous round of applause, and a motion of protest against the calling up of the njneteen-years-old hoys was carried unanimously later in the . meeting. The'terms of the motion wove inaudible except to those in flfe front seats, and the general body of people understood no more than the subjeot matter of the resolution. They voted for it with enthusiasm, however. TRAPS COLLIDE. A Mrs. Doulton, of Johnsonville, was on Saturday morning driving a cart along Thorndon Quay when another cart collided with hers.
