PLYMOUTH
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
/ NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. . The loading of meat into the liner Karamea yesterday and last night by 150 farmers was not without incident. Hundreds of tacks were strewn oaTKe main road to the port during the night, and several motorists had tires punctured, causing the police to divert farmers driving away from the wharves at 10 o'clock to a track along the beach. One member of the farmer gangs found his motor-cycle practically wrecked. Not knowing where to leave his machine at the wharf, he left it at a building a few chains up the road. Later, he found it had suffered severely. AH the cables were broken, and the generator had completely disappeared. The ignition wires had been cut and the caps to the tanks taken. The controls were bent right down over the handle bars, and the-head lamp was twisted round.
