THE THREAT TO STRIKE.
IS IT AN OFFENCE! AN IMPORTANT APPEAL By Telegraph.—Preus Association. Auckland, Last Night. The Arbitration Court to-day reserved its decision in an appeal by W. Tighe against his conviction for being a party to au alleged strike on the Mokoia at Lyttelton on July 12, 1920, when, as the outcome of the jockeys’ dispute, the crew refused to sail with Sir George Clifn ford. Appellant’s counsel contended that it had never been proved that Tighe was a member of the watch involved when a deputation informed the captain they would not sail. If he were the utmost that could be said was that there was a threat to discontinue work. If the Legislature intended a threat to strike to be an offence it would have expressed this intention in exact terms. The conviction of 22 others hinges on the appeal.
