CELEBRATED THEIR VICTORY.

Workmen of London Have Monster
Demonstration at Hyde Park.
LONDON, Sept. l6.-The workmen of
London had monster demonstration at
Hyde Park yesterday and celebrated the
victory OF the dock lsborers. Burns was
the chief speaker and was greeted with
deafening cheers. Burns declared that
the strike now so happily concluded was
o1ly a preliminary step of the skirmish OF
the great battle which was yet to come. A
federation of labor would forthwith be or
gsnized throughout England, and when
once completed the war would be carried
into Africa. The thanks Of the whole civ
ilzed world, he said, we're due TO the gen
eIOns contributors 10 the strikers relief
fund, and the victory of the men was in no
small means due to their timely aid.
Before going 70 Hyde Park the doekmen
formed in procession and marched to the
Mansion House, where they were review
ed by the lord mayor and lady mayoress.
The men as they passed the balcony upon
which the lord mayor and his wife stood
cheered enthusiastically. The Australian
flag had the place OF honor in the line.
AT the opening of court to-day the re-
coTder in charging the grand jury referred
20 the recent strike and said though a great
number of men We're out of work for weeks
and suffered great prlvatiOns, there had not
been single case on the calendar arising
troul tue strike. The peaceful behavior OF
the men, he declared, was a subject for
national pride.
Most OF the strikers resumed work this
morning. 1t is expected work on all the
docks will be in full swing tomorrow.
Thousands of unemployed dock labOrers
are waiting az the gates of the docks aud
