MILITANT WORKLESS
alienation of public SYMPATHY. DUNEDIN, April 20. The- “Otago Daily Times,” in an editorial, says: “Tbe threatening tone of tlie resolution passed by a meeting of the unemployed in Christchurch on Saturday, while it is not likely to cause perturbation on the part ot the Government, is to he deplored. It is not to be suggested that any great importance need be attached to the threat of militant action; the mischievous feature of such a resolution is that it is circulated throughout New Zealand as representing tbe demand of a representative body of unemployed in the city from which it emanates, and may be interpreted as such by many people whose sympathy with the workless is liable to be alienated by this kind of propaganda. “The unemployed should recognise that veiled and ugly threats of a “militant policy’ are resented by people who deeply svmpathise with them in their distress.”
