DID HE ABET STRIKES?
COLLETT IN COURT AT AUCKLAND. Auckland, Saturday. The case against James Collett (secretary to the Waterside Workers' Union), charged with aiding and abetting certain wharf workers to go on strike in respect to discharging the Paparoa on November 21 last, was commenced at the Magistrate's Court on Thursday and concluded this morning. After hearing evidence at length, Mr. Kettle said that he saw no reason to alter his former decision that there had been a strike on November 22, 1911. There had been a combined "absentation" from work in order to influence the conditions under which they had been employed. Whether Collett aided and abetted such Btrike was a point upon which he would reserve his decision. With regard to other defendants Mr. Mays said that, in the light of what had since transpired, he wished to withdraw informations against Messrs. Cass, Kernot, Hale, Tilley, Baker. C. Smith, D. B. Smith, and John Smith. The department had no other course in the first instance but to summon all those who did not resume work on the morning of November 22. Mr. Kettle allowed the informations to be withdrawn, each of the men named' being allowed 20s costs.
