SENTENCE ON LYONS.
WATERSIDERS’ RESOLUTION. s Dunedin, Last Night. The Dunedin waterside workers passed the following resolution: "That this union of Dunedin waterside workers desires to record its sympathy with comrade Noel Lyons, and at the same time are filled with repugnance over the brutal sentence of nine months hard labour passed on a man whose only offence lay in trying to improve the standard of life for the men serving in the mercantile marine. The vitriolic lash of the law, which flogged into durance vile an honest man, was typically characteristic of the capitalistic spleen and, in this instance, the 'much vaunted phrase ‘British fair-play and justice,’ iiad been prostituted beyond all recognition. The union pledges itself to assist in every way every means of obtaining the release of Noel Lyons.”
