Over two hundred relief workers and unemployed who met at the Trades Hall on Saturday decided that they would uot follow the lead of the Lyttelton men and strike as a protest against the Government’s proposal to reduce the rates of relief pay. At times the meeting was- almost beyond the control of the chairman, and a tense situation developed when the discovery was made that police constables and a detective were in the hall. There were loud cries requesting their removal. The chairman pointed out that the meeting was an orderly one, and on his receiving a unanimous "Yes” to his question whether the men desired the police officers to leave the latter quietly walked from the hall.
