er- were disposed 60 rebel against his
/ pronounced purpose 10 preserve
oIder &c all hazards. and these growing
more numerous as food became scarce
were constant menace to his au-
/ thOrity. To-day, however. this source
of danger is largely reduced. for Buris

funds TO supply his relief depots fairly
well, and as he keeps a sharp lookout
on the purse strings and peremptoriiy /
forb'ds relief being given TO such e7
question his authority. he is moss every |
where implicitly o1eycd.
The refusal Of the deck companies 20 /
permit the vessel owners 10 make such /
terms with the lab0Ieis as they see iil /
fer unloading their own ships very ma- /
terially improve the strikers position. I
as it places the entire responsibility for /
the existing trade deadlock upon the /

intensiiies the feeling in the commercial T
community yagairs, them. and a. aresult /
sympathy for lhc strikers grows strong /

into their Golfers.
