Joseph Herbert Jones
On 7 January 1917, watersider Joseph Jones rose to address a crowd of 500 people at an anti-conscription rally in Dixon St,
Wellington. He told them:
I want the working class to say to the masters: ‘We don’t want war. We won’t go to the war.’ Standing as I have done, and seeing the
troopships going away, I often wondered what they were going to fight for. We are not going to be gagged, no matter what the
consequences may be. They can send us to the dungeon. You know, as well as I do, that your liberties are at stake in this country.
Listen, fellow-workers! I know my risk, but remember this – they cannot kill the spirit of a true-blue rebel. If I have to go behind
the bars, I know before many weeks are over I will have plenty of mates to follow me. If I am imprisoned, other men will find their
way into this country, and they will carry on the work to fight the master class.
