STAND-UP FIGHT
UNEMPLOYED MEETING
i- ' SEQUEL IN COURT
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day
As a sequel to a stand-up, fight at a recent rally of unemployed, John William Hughes and George Lewis were charged with fighting;. The change against Hughes was dismissed,, and' Lewis was fined £1.
A detective, : giving evidence, said that Hughes announced that he wanted to get the meeting away from the Communist element, and he stood for '' King and country.'' That seemed to start the trouble. Hughes later offered to : take on all Communists in the hall one after the other.
Lewis's explanation was that Hughes called him a'"Bolshevist" and "Communist" and struck him, breaking his glasses, and he hit out in self-defence.
