DOCK WORKERS
JEER LEADERS
London Strike Appears to be
Far From Settled.

London, July 2e.-At a huge meet
ing of dock strikers in a park here
the men angrily repudiated the action
Of the strike committee declaring the
strike at an end and declared for no
surrender.
The strike leaders, the members Of
the committee who had ordered men
back to work, knew long before the
meeting that the action which they
took would be disapproved and went
to the park prepared to meet a storm.
They knew that the men had torn
down copies of the manifesto Of the
committee ordering them back to work
and had ~furtously declared that their
leaders had sold them out. The open
ing address of Harry Costing, the
strike leader, was hardly listened to,
but when presently he explained that
the manifesto was issued to give the
men an opportunity Of acting as they
wished the audience began to listen
to him.

men to continue the strike against

portunity Of declaring whether they

When order had been restored Mr.
Gosling recounted the efforts that had
been made by the strike committee
last week to reach an agreement with
the employers. He said the strike
committee decided to tell the men tt
resume work If they wanted to. Every
union connected with the docks anf
the transport trade would meet II
decide whether to accept or reject the
manifesto.
At this point Ben T1llett, who re
Gently called upon the Deity to strike
