DEPUTATION OF UNEMPLOYED.
MR SEMPLE EXPLAINS. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, August 14. In a statement to-day, Mr R. Semple, M.P., dissociates himself en- , tirely from the unemployed deputation which attempted to force itself upon the Prime Minister yesterday, and whose tactics he described as “nothing short of disgraceful.” What he did, Mr Semple said, w r as to ask Mr Forbes to receive a deputation, through the Trades and Labour Council, and this the Prime Minister had fixed for Friday. Yesterday’s deputation 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 Prime Minister to meet any such deputation, and so far as their reputation of himself yesterday was concerned, he could only I take it as a compliment coming from that quarter.
