"As one of the class of skilled workers affected by hard times, being at present unemployed," "Constitutionnl" takes strong exception to the actions of a small coterie of unemployed, "who boastfully assert that the authorities are afraid of them. They claim to be the courageous ones of the unemployed, and do not mind prison, not having the cash to pay out. They are truculent in their remarks about all constituted authority outside Russia." "Constitutional" holds that to charge these men with breaking tho traffic bylawis only playing with the danger. "Surely men who quote ignorant Russia against the British Dominion of Xnw Zealand, where almost every Xew ZcaL-unk-i1 is intelligent and exercises the franchise at a given age, should not be treated other than as abugers of free speech and sternly repressed."
