MEETING OF PROTEST.
A meeting was held last evening in the Princess Theatre to protest against the sentences on four men convicted of selling literature that contravenes the War Regulations Continuance Act. Messrs. A. Cook, president of the Alliance of Labour, and F. P. Walsh, president of the New Zealand Seamen's Union, along with two of the convicted men, addressed the meeting. Mr. Moulton, secretary of the Carpeuters' Union, was in the chair. The following resolution was passed: "This meeting of Wellington citizens enters an emphatic protest at the sentences of £50 fines or three months' imprisonment, passed on four members of the working class who were convicted by Mr. Page, S.M., on 21st November, at the Wellington Magistrate's Court, for possession of allegedly seditious literature. It calls for the quashing of the sentences, and demands the repeal of all laws subversive of working-class liberties."
