Railway Workers And Communist Visitor
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day., Prohibited by a Government decision from addressing Hutt railway workers within the Woburn shops on the subject of the Queensland railway strike, Mr Claude Jones, the visiting Australian Communist Party official, spoke at mid-day to about 120 workers outside the entrance to the premises. The meeting adopted, with possibly six dissentients, a motion of confidence in the New Zealand Labour Party. Mr Jones said that in New Zealand the Minister of Railways, Mr Semple, had tried “to prevent him from telling the truth about the Queensland strike.”
