ANTI-SHOUTING CASES.
HOTEL WORKERS' RESENTMENT. LETTER TO ATTORNEY-GENERAL. . Strong comment- on recent anti-shout-ing cases is made in a letter written by Mr. E. Kennedy, assistant secretary to the Hotel. Club, and estaurant Workers' Union, to the Hon. A. L. Herdman, At-torney-General, In the course of his letter, savs the Times, Mr. Kennedy, state* that it is evidently tlje policy of the department to send out plain, olohes constables, with definite instructions' to get convictions,' no matter against whom. The constables arc evidently given a free hand as to the amount of drink they might consume. Mr. Kennedy charges Mr. Herdman that, while hep -.iblTely stated that no constable was allowed to enlist .because he. eould not be spared and was essential to maintain peace and order in the Dominion, the police he had prevented from enlisting "had evidently nothing better to do than to go around the country from town to town getting 'sozzled up' with drink, and then laying informations against the wrong persons for breaches of the anti-shouting regulations." In conclusion, Mr. Kennedy writes: "We feel the injustices under which we suffer from the regulations relating to antlshouting, and. we .respectfully request that after the New Year you will kindly receive a deputation tfrnm the hotel workers' unions in New Zealand on the said regulations."
