Unemployed Stand By Trades Hall
WELLINGTON DISCORD YOUTHFUL AGITATOR Press Association WELLINGTON, To-day. For a week or more past, a young man named Higgins has been endeavouring to hold meetings of unemployed in the city. He has been refused a room at the Trades Hall, and on one occasion, when the Trades Hall was invaded by himself and his associates, the police were called and he was ordered off the premises. This morning a meeting of unemployed was called by the unemployment committee of the Trades and Labour Council, and the unemployed were asked whether they were going to follow Mr. Higgins or whether they were content with the unemployed commute. After addresses had been given by both sides a motion w-as carried expressing confidence in the committee. Mr. Higgins and his associates hold that the unemployment committee has done nothing, and advocate forming one big unemployment union, to become affiliated with the Trades and Labour Council, and to have its own unemployed representatives.
