OBSTRUCTION OF TRAFFIC
COMMUNISTS TO BE CHARGED. Wellington, September 26. Communists who have been speaking in the open air after having been refused permission have been served with summonses and will appear in the Magistrate’s Court on Friday next. They will be charged with obstructing traffic. “The eight comrades who spoke hero last Friday night have been served with these,” said a speaker at a Communist meeting in Garrett street to-night, waving a blue paper. “They are getting to be quite a familiar sight to members of the Communist party. Referring to the charge of obstructing traffic, the speaker said that it was just a start. It did not matter whether they “went in” or not. If they “went in” others would come forward and they would have relays to maintain a continuous series of meetings. He urged those present to come to the Court on Friday morning to demonstrate and show the capitalistic class that the workers were tired of the continuation of their system. At the conclusion of to-night’s meeting the police again took speakers’ names.
