ECHO OF STRIKE.
CHARGES OF BESETTING.
SEVEN AGITATORS IMPRISONED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday. “My view is that this disturbance was not brought about by genuine relief workers, but was engineered by you few agitators,” said Air Page, S.M., to-day, in sentencing to three months’ imprisonment seven defendants in recent charges of besetting arising from a partial strike of relief workers. •
He told accused that they would have to understand that properties were not to be trespassed upon, and that workmen and overseers were not to be intimidated. Accused were Charles Morris Brooks (37), Charles Frederick Barker, alias Burrows (49), John Harvey Blair (37), Richard Henry Webb (28), Eric George Pocock (25), Thomas Ridout (51), and William Benjamin Arthur Wilkinson (37).
