WORKERS' MOVEMENT

Although the weather was. unpleasant, a fair attendance was present at the Museum Grounds yesterday when addresses were delivered by Mr J. A. Middleman, representing the industrial organisations, Sir J. Townley, anti-war movement, Mr A. B. Powell, Communist Party, and the secretary of the National Unemployed Workers" Movement. Questions were answered by the various speakers, who were accorded a hearty vote of thanks. The following resolutions were carried unanimously:— "That this public meeting of citizens with determined sincerity endorses the action of our fellow-workers- in Gore in refusing the terms offered them in an effort to force them to camp.. We are confident that it is impossible to keep two homes going under the slave conditions imposed upon relief workers by the Unemployment Board." "That this public meeting of Dunedin citizens expresses its indignation at the unjustified imprisonment and continued torture of the anti-Fascist leader, Ernst Thalman, in Fascist Germany, and at the support given to this Government of Fascist terror by the British Government."
