STRIKE PRISONERS.
THEIR RELEASE SOUGHT. MINISTER OFFERS NO HOPE. Press Association. WELLINGTON, July 14. A deputation from the Labour Conference waited on the Minister of Justice (the* Hon. A. L, Herdman) to-day, and urged for the release of the strike prisoners. It was explained that the deputation had not come to crawl or cringe, for the simple reason that its members knew the Minister despised the <?rawler and cringer, but they considered the time had arrived when the strike prisoners should be released. The deputation did not represent an organisation which was in existence at the time of the strike; it was a new organisation altogether. The Minister said, in reply, that he could not hold out any hope at present for the remission of the sentences.
