Anti-Conscription League (From “The Dominion,” July Z 4, 1011.) 'The first meeting of the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Anti-Conscrip-tion League, which was held at His Majesty’s Theatre last evening, was an extremely lively one. At no stage of the proceedings could it be called a serious one, for the opponents of the “anti-con-scriptionists” bad assembled in force, and with their counter-demonstrations and pointed interjections succeeded in reducing the affair to a burlesque. 4 « « Twenty laundries at Cardiff have been wrecked. Rioting continued throughout the night. The police were powerless owing to simultaneous movements of the mob in different parts. Some of the rioters fired the laundries, looting t.be clothes and robbing the tills. Five hundred of the Lancashire Fusiliers have arrived. Others are in readiness. The seamen’s strike has been settled, but the seamen will not resume work until other workers’ grievances have been remedied.
At the Masterton Chamber of Commerce yesterday Mr. R. B. Ross wrote stating that he would assist to the best of his ability, outside and in Parliament, the movement for the deviation of the Rimutaka railway.
