SEAMEN’S UNION PROTEST. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, December 3. At the monthly meeting of the Seamen’s Union to-day, the following resolution was adopted unanimously: — “That this meeting of the Wellington Branch of the Federated Seamen’s Union of New Zealand enters an emphatic protest against the sentence of a £5O fine, or three months’ imprisonment, passed on four members of the working class who were convicted by Mr Page, S.M., on November 21, at the Wellington Magistrate’s Court, for th? possession of allegedly seditious working class literature. We demand that the sentence be quashed, and affirm the right of the. workers to read what they will, regardless of official interference, and call for the repeal of all legislation which limits the right and provides the machinery for repressive action against working class organisations.”
