WELLINGTON R.S.A.
MORE REGRETTABLE BEHAVIOUR.
(Fer Pross Association.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 12
ft. meeting of the Wellington Returned Soldiers' Association to consider the report of the deputation to Parliament regarding war gratuities^ was held in the Town Hall to-night, and was attended by representatives of Wellington papers. A member of the Association proposed that the Press be excluded, and during the discussion of this motion references to the newspapers of Wellington, and their reporting staffs, were so offensive that the pressmen withdrew without waiting for the question to be put. It. was announced afterwards that the motion to exclude the Press was heavily defeated and a motion that reporters should be asked to return was carried. A motion that the report of the depuation to Parliament be not received was lost, though largely supported, and the report was adopted.
