DISTURBANCE IN AUCKLAND.
CLASH BETWEEN STRIKERS AND "SPECIALS." (r*RESS ASSOCIATION* TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND. November 19. A clash took place between some strikers and a small body of "speckls" in Hobson street, near the Trades Hall, shortly after five o'clock this evening! Stones were thrown by strikers, and some of them brandished spades and forks, which they took from a neighbouring second-hand shop. The specials had, in a few instances, to use their batons to protect themselves from the aggressive tactics of somo of the strikers. The arrival of reinforcements of uniformed police and further "specials'" effectually subdued the disturbance.
At tho height of the disturbance, a woman from a window of the upper storey of a 6hop shrilly encouraged the strikers to attack the "specials." and her kngungo was such that she will probably be summoned to appear before the Court.
