An Anglo-German , meeting between Miss Betty Nuthall and t_ Fraulein Aussen aroused the enthusiasm ’s the immense crowd. The sixteen-year-old girl, Miss Nuthail, received an ovation on winning in straight sets on her j. first appearanee at Wimbledon.

The first set was closely fought, t but in the second the English girl's fierce hitting tired out .her ijval.

UNEMPLOYED PROTEST LABOUR BUREAU DE- ' GLARED “BLACK:" ' 'TRADE UNION RATES \ '. DEMANDED . It is reported that' about fifty unemployed men met in the Early Settlers’ Hall for the purpose of organising to secure direct representation on the committee set up by.the Alliance of Labour to. deal effectively with the unemployment Question, and to make an effective protest against the wages of 9s. and 12s. a day paid by the Government. ’• . The chairman (Mr. F. Freeman), who. described' himself .as a Communist, said there was no suggestion (as had been stated) of the unemployed attempting to separate. themselves from the trade union movement. The intention was to set up a committee of five, with a president and a secretary, to raise a fighting fund. < Messrs. F.' Freeman (president), F. Sterling . (secretary),.. E. Cox, E. Hogan, J. H. Moss, N. Carson, and J. Chambers were elected the commit•iee and officers. Various trade ■ unions are to. be asked for. support to start the fund. -- > “.There are-two courses for the unemployed who sleep out -and are hungry,” the chairman said. “They can either go up the line to ‘scab’ : wages."at 9s.J a day, 'or they . can go to the Charitable Aid Board, and demand three'meals and a bed a day. It is .no - use going individually, they must go together. Those of you who are men will, go to the Charitable Aid Board; the’ rest-can go up the line. “We have to ask the trade unions for money to carry on the agitation for more" than 9s, a day,’.’ continued Mr. Freeman, “and I think, if we point out what 9s. and 12s a day means, we will get results, but we must keep together, and urge weak members of the ■ unemployed; not to accept 9s. a day.” A member:’ “Is it advisable for a member to: go to the Charitable Aid Board and work three hours for three meals?” The chairman: “I would say.straight out, go up and apply for work at the Aid Board, work three hours, and get three meals. When you go up there you are doing unproductive work. You are hurting the authorities, and by doing so you will get them to turn round and increase the rates,, so that you can go up the line.” The meeting decided to declare the Labour Bureau, with its offer of 9s. and 12s. a day, "black.” The following motion was carried: —“We, the unemployed workers of Wellington, realising that, as long as we remain unorganised we are a menace- to organised labour, call on the workers of Wellington to support us in our. demand for trade union rates or .maintenance; we realise, further, that with the support of organised labour in. Wellington, our fight against scab wages can be- more effectively waged; and we call upon the trade unions to give our organisation recognition and support.” ‘■‘That motion,” said the chairman, “commits, us to a policy, r.-f fighting for trade upipn rates or maintenance. That means that if Mr. Coates cpines along ’and asks.us to. accept lower than trade : union rates, you .can, ‘in the same way as he said, ‘So much a day, take it or leave it,’ say, ‘Trade union rates or maintenance, take it or leave it.”
