BOLSHEVIK DOCTRINES.

(Uncut tn 'Standahd. 'T WELLINGTON, April 8. The waterside worker who was sentenced to t\yelvc months’ imprisonment to-day for distributing seditious literature, was handling leaflets of a kind that have been circulated widely in Wellington and probably in other centres. The police have had considerable difficulty in tracing tho persons responsible for the documents, though the fact that dangerous propaganda was in progress has been well known. It has been freely stated on the waterfront that considerable quantities of leaflets preaching Bolshevik doctrines were landed from a vessel that came direct from tho United States. Tho text of tho leaflets found in the possession of accused was the slow’ strike._ 'I he. workers are urged to “strike on the job, by going so slow that they will create no surplus of production. They are advised to make the payment of dividends impossible and to wreck private industry from within by “going dead slow.” Other instructions iii tho leaflets are frankly revolutionary.
