“ LET US HAVE ANARCHY.”
MINISTER’S EXTRAORDINARY ACTION. RELEASE OF AN' IMPRISONED STRIKER, rUNITED PEESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. SYDNEY, Oct. 2. Mr Dixon, secretary of the Federated Ironmongers’ Unions, sentenced on September 19 to a month’s imprisonment in connection, with the Lithgow strike, was released by Mr Holman, State Minister of Justice, on Saturday. Coincidentally Mr Holman left for a week-end holiday. The “Herald” suggests that he escorted Mr Dixon to Lithgow to make sure of his .safe return. The “Herald” proceeds: “The extraordirlary effrontery of tlie action in liberating Dixon passes comprehension. The laws are operative only when it jdeases the Minister of Justice. Why have any laws at all? Let us. have straight-out 1 anarchy, and' be honest.” ■ ;-. - ■" • :l ■■ - - ■.:
