A GREAT STRIKE

[ p. PIRANI'S WARNING PLANS OF THE EXTREMISTS "Tho . people of New Zealand should know tliuli tnereis simmering among the extreiuo Labour section just noiv. a movem<2.ll to carry out in January next n general'-'go-slow' strike," said Mr. IV Pirani in tho Town Hall last night. This statement produced loud . interruption, and the candidate had to pause before tlio supporters of Labour in tho audience would allow him to proceed. 'The people who are complaining about tho'cost of living will'find that as a reKill li of that general 'go-slow' striko they will have to pii'y twice or three times as much for the articles that they consume. (Interruption.) Mark my words, tho very peaplo who are crying out at this meeting to-niglit will bo the first to suffer ihfpmh the 'irb-slow' policy. I think ' that it is the duty of tlie State, as soon as;,pos.?ible, to organise New Zealand from on' 4 eiid lo the other against that 'gosloV strike. I say it is the duty—(nili.'rTUption)—of everybody who lias tho intents of New Zealand at heart to take jivjrniug from my: words, and ask themMves if extremists-are soing to ba al■jloived to perpetuate —".

j 'The interruptions at this stage became j'-eo loud that Jly; Pivaiii was unoble to j proceed. ' He had. to pause while the 1 police ejected several men.
