"THE SUPPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH."
CONDEMNATION OF THE
GOVERNMENT
JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 7
Several thousand people attended a meeting held in Market Square yesterday. Resolutions were unanimously passed denouncing the suppression of free speech and recommending a general strike in the event of any conviction in connection with the strike prosecutions.
Some of the speakers described Cabinet as "dirty," "stinking," and "a gigantic scab and declared that "Gladstone, the troops and the police ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves."
