POLICE AND UNEMPLOYMENT.
A CHRISTCHURCH IN C IDHiN T.
Christchurch, Dec. 4. An ugly scene developed in Ca-v thedral Square this morning when l lie police, ordered a meeting of unemployed to be broken up. A struggle took place between two or three .constables and an unemployed leader when the latter persisted in attempting to address a gathering of 3(H). Other constables then had to use force to 'keep the crowd back. Finally the leaders of the men decided to change the place of meeting and some of them marched to Victoria Square, where the gathering was fairly orderly. A banner carried by the men read: “Bools Starve. Men Bight. Work or Wages.”
