TO MARK HER STAND.
NAPIER INCIDENT RECALLED. Napier, December 19. A representative deputation of Napier citizens waited upon Miss F. Morecroft this afternoon and presented her with a diamond ring and wristlet watch, to place on record their appreciation of her attitude in protesting against the campaign carried on among Government servants, under the auspices of the Alliance of Labour. The occasion on which Miss Morecroft made her stand was when, just prior to the ballot of the Post and Telegraph Officer’s Association, the assistant secretary addressed a number of members in her tearooms. Miss Morecroft stopped the speaker and refused to serve supper. The incident was subsequently the subject of an unsuccessful libel action against the local newspapers.
