THE WAIHI STRIKE
DEMONSTRATION AT AUCKLAND. -AUCKLAND, Last Night. Patrick Schollard and James Doel, who refused to find sureties of the peace at Waihi, arrived «it Auckland this afternoon, and were taken to the Mt. Eden Gaol. A crowd numbering about 300 assembled to meet them, and about 250 of them were waterside workers on the wharf. The prison van was waiting to convey the two strikers to the gaol. The prisoners were among the first to step down the gangway, and immediately they stepped on to the wharf one of the waiting crowd of watersides called for "three 'groans for capitalistic law and order." Three loud groans followed. Then-someone called for "three cheers for the prisoners," and these were lustily given. Three cheers were then given for the "Federation of Labour," the watorpider who called for them adding, "that the Federation wasn't beaten and wasn't likely to be." Further groans followed against the Massey Government. The two men stepped quietly into the van and were driven away to Mt. Men Gaol. As soon as the conveyance had disappeared the crowd melted away.
