SEDITIOUS-BOOK CHARGE
SEAMEN’S UNION PROTESTS AGAINST SENTENCE REPEAL OF ACT DEMANDED Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. At the monthly meeting of the Seamen’s Union yesterday the following resolution was adopted unanimously; —“That this meeting of the Wellington branch of the Federated Seamen’s Union of New Zealand enters an emphatic protest against the penalty of a £SO line or three months’ imprisonment passed on four members of the working class who were convicted by Mr. Page, S.M., on November 21 in the Wellington Magistrate’s Court for the possession of allegedly seditious working class literature. We demand that the sentences be gnashed, and affirm the right of workers to read what they will regardless of official interference, and we call for the repeal of all legislation which limits the right and provides the machinery for repressive action against workingclass organisations.”
