Opposition Stands Firm

Cross-examined by Mr. Leicester, whose whole aim seemed to be to make him contradict himself, Mr. Evison stood to his ground and refused to be brow-beaten. Mr. Leicester treated all witnesses from the floor as potential rogues, liars and conspirators against social stability. As many as he cross-questioned, reacted very well, especially Mr. Evison.

Whatever the Tribunal decides, the Association and the general public of Wellington owes a hearty vote of thanks to Harry Evison and to the other witnesses, for the fight they put up against this further link in the chain of rising prices.
