REMARKABLE SCENE

* PROFESSOR MIHLS AND THE SOCIALISTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Last Night.

Thorp was a renin rkablo scene towards the end of tlio mooting hold in tho Town Hall on Friday niglit to organise in Auckland t-ho United Labour Party. Mr Mills, .who was loudly cheered on rising, was subsequently subjected to a good deal of interruption. Eventually ho requested tlio removal of a man who persisted in making interjections. A policeman's services wore requisitioned, and the. man left tlio hall. In response to a call for all Socialists to leave the meeting, forty or fifty persons walked out. Mr Mills, proceeding, said that far too long a time in Auckland and other centres in Xr.v Zealand a croivcl_ of men, who had a capacity for creating disorder hut no capacity to create anything else, had boon, permitted to hold the stage. The present disturbance was a death rattle of a discredited cause. There were in the Dominion ten thousand working men who stood for Labour, .hut who had no sympathy with tho disturbing element. He asked for their help. They h'ael listened to misrepresentation r,f Labour long enough.
