"SIEGE" BY UNEMPLOYED
MR. SEMPLE DENIES CONNECTION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Aug. 14. In a statement to-day, Mr. R. Semple, M.P., dissociates himself entirely from the unemployed deputation which attempted to force itieif upon the Prime Minister yesterday, and whose tactics he described as nothing short of disgraceful. What ho did, Mr. Semple said, was to ask Mr. Forbes to receive the deputation through the Trades and Labour Council, and this Mr. Forbes had fixed for Friday. Yesterday’s deputation had had nothing to do with this or himself. It was arranged by the Communist Party, and there was no connection between that party and the’ Labour Party. He would have refused to ask the Premier to meet any such deputation. As far as their repudiation of himself yesterday was concerned, he could only, take it as a compliment coming from that quarter.
