LOYALTY TO THE UNION JACK.
WAIHI COUNCILLOR’S RESOLUTION.
Waihi, Yesterday.
Councillor Irviue has tabled the following notice,* of motion: “That it be a condition of all future employment on borough works that each and every person employed by the Borough Council must sign a declaration affirming his or her loyalty to the Union Jack, and that none other than those affirming their loyalty to the flag shall be employed in any capacity on borough works ; and that it be an instruction to the town clerk to forward copies of this resolution to all local bodies throughout the Dominion, inviting their co-opera-tion.” The significance of this resolution will be the more readily understood when it is remembered that the root of the trouble in Waihi has been caused by the propagation of the gospel of the ‘.‘Red Flag” by travelling agitators.
