WATERSIDE WORKERS
IMPUTATIONS ON LOYALTY RESENTED “UNWARRANTED AND VICIOUS ATTACKS.” REVENUE AND OTHER PROPOSALS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Charges against the loyalty of waterside workers were hotly refuted at a meeting of the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Watersiders’ Union this morning, and a resolution expressing the watersiders’ viewpoint was carried unanimously. It views with profound regret and indignation the unwarranted and vicious attacks by innuendoes and aspersions that have been cast on their loyalty, and an assurance of earnestness for the national defence urges the Government, through its revenue-col-lecting agencies, to limit all incomes, both civil and private, to a maximum of £5OO.
Another resolution urges the Government, in the interests of national safety, to suspend for the duration of the war the special privileges enjoyed by members of the legislature of immunity from prosecution on account of utterances made in Parliament, which gravely endanger the national security and are a menace to national unity.
