SOUTHERN ARRESTS.
“ MAINTAINING LAW.”
News comes of several unwarranted arrests south of Auckland. In several instances peaceful picketing has resulted in aggressive action on the part of “ specials,” in most cases when pickets have been operating in small groups.
This reallv means that the threadbare sophistry about maintaining “ Law and Order ” is only a cloak to cover brutal licence and the negation of freedom or anything approaching it; in other words, the tools of the employing class can do what they like up to murder, and never be punished (unless we punish them), while if a wmrker does the natural thing and hits back he is liable to incur legal punishment (punishment by the masters). The workers South, however, are inflicting more damage than is, on can be, meted out to them; and that is the only way.
