STATEMENT DENIED.
No Demonstration by Unemployed. (Special to the ** Star.*') AUCKLAND, December 22. There has been a report that Christmas Eve will see a demonstration by the Auckland unemployed. The president of the Auckland Provincial Unemployed Association, Mr F. E. Lark, said that as far as the executive of the association was concerned it was prepared to give an emphatic denial of the statement that any such thing had been contemplated. None of its branches had any idea of resorting to such tactics. Incensed as the unemployed were at the treatment accorded them, the Unemployed Association realised that their policy must at all times be constructive and not destructive. The association was asking all right-thinking citizens, and this included city business men. to assist the unemployed in their claim for ordinary humane treatment, and at this vital stage it had no idea of doing anything that would lead to the alienation of a large section of public opinion which would unquestionably follow a hostile demonstration on Christmas Eve.
