LABOUR SENTIMENTS CONDEMNED
■ Pei Press Association.)
HAWERA, This Day
A large and representative meeting was held at Hawera yesterday, when it was unanimously decided to form an organisation to uphold law and order and the supremacy of Parliament. A strong executive was formed to carry out the organisation at once. It was decided that the name of the organisation should be: “The League of Loyal Citizens.” A resolution was passed unanimously: “That the Prime Minister’s attention be called to the seditious sentiments expressed by Mr Arbuckle at Wellington on September 29th, in which he 'made the following, statement: ‘That if in the Alliance of Labour rested the salvation of the worker of New Zealand, they had to organise as the workers of Russia and Italy had organised, and industrialists must take charge of the industries,’ and this meeting urges that all such statements be made seditious matters, and those guilty of making them be punishable by law, and that if there is no law to provide for such cases that such a law should be placed upon the Statute Book without delay.”
