be that the property would revert to the

HULL, May 23. 1s93.-In accordance with
the agreement entered into on Saturday.
the union dock laborers of Hull, recently
on strike, resumed work today. The
members of the union and the so-called
free laborers worked together apparently
on amicable terms.
Many of those who had been on strike
were unable to obtain places. owing TO
the number of free laborers who had
been given employment during the
struggle, and whom the employers re-
tanned in their service. Nevertheless.
order prevailed everywhere, nouwith-
standing that there was considerable
apprehension of disturbance. special
police being for that reason detailed TO
suppress any outbreak that might occur.
The resumption of work WAS marked
by tragic event. Chesterfield, the Local
Secretary of the Dock Laborers' q nion,
cut his throat, and although still living
he is in critical condition. He had been
much overworked during the strike, and
was much depressed by the result of the
