A "Day Off" for Determined Protest.

Mr. GloyeYrejxSi-ts that at th_.recent meeting of the executive of tbs _*edetatioa of Labor it was resolved 'that each affiliated union bo ttf take a day off within* ths na_t 1. day* for t__&* purpose of organising demonstrations'"in tho various; districts and entering au emphatic protest against tho action of the Government in jailing the* strikers at Waihi. It is imperative that as much enthusiasm as possible bo put into these demonstrations and that, all unions and workers' in sympathy with our' organisation be requested* to take part. The first of the "day off" demonstrations was held last Saturday in the Grey district and to-morrow the Buller Federatibnists will follow suit. As our columns disclose, other demonstrations are in train. Meanwhile the volume of protest against the continued incarceration of the union prisoners swells, the resolutions below being typical of many. May wo urge that no stone be left unturned to secure the fullest publicity of any meetings and' resolutions of pro-' test. ■•'" We give on another page a stirring account of the police prosecutions at Waihi and leave it to take the place of our promised outline of the v case. "To arms, to arms, ye brave!"
