DOCK HANDS REFUSE
TO FOLLOW LEADERS
Order To Resume Work Dis.
obeyed-Trouble Feared
Guard Is Increased.

London, July 30.-The refusal of the
dockworkers in London to obey the
manifesto issued by the strike leaders
on Saturday declaring the strike at an
end after it had lasted 10 weeks was
given practical effect today when very
few of the men returned to work. The
strikers generally are Of the opinion
that their leaders have betrayed them
into an unconditional surrender.
A new spirit seem to have entered
into the men, and today 1t was OBJ
served that most of them displayed a
much more ugly temper than hitherto.
On this account stronger forces of po-
lice than usual were stationed at the
dock gates to protect the non-union-
lists. These men appeared in their us
ual numbers.
The secretary of the strike commit
tee this morning said that the strike
probably will be resumed. Several Of
the unions involved will meet today to
discuss the situation and it is expected
that most of them will vote for a con-
tinuance of the strike.
Situation Serious.
Great Britain's latest industrial out
break. the strike of transport workers,
has proved one of the most desperate
and demoralizing in her history.
Though lacking in spectacular features
that gave several of it's predecessors a
more menacing aspect, it exceeds them
in the domestic misery it has wrought
n the political evil it entails.
Revelations during the negotiations
for a settlement point to a terrifying
state of affairs in the homes OF most
of the strikers.
Hundreds of families. never before
driven TIC the ignominy of pauper re-
lief. have been compelled to seek it in
circumstances hat create a veritable
tragedy.
More shocking tina this is the dis
coverv that comparatively few strikers
AVE known at all clearly why they
We're striking.
BY the vicar of the parish that in
cluGes the london docks-a man of
b~oundless sympathy with the riverside
labCrers and having exceptional oppor-
tunities to know their exact position
and misunderstanding. the chief pro-
moter of the agitation. is charged with
promoting a dishonest strike"
Ready to Confront Agitators.
The clergyman declares himself
ready TO confront the agitators on
Flower Hill and to maintain his accu-
satiOn.
Gosling's methods of keeping the
strike going appear to have beer moth
ing less thar scandalous. He is de-
nounced even in labor circles for trying
to repeat the tactics so unsuccessful
II wears ago. when after Is wasted
weeks the lightermen went back to the
old conditions. Gross intimidation has
been practiced and without rebuke

Estimates as to the loss to the port

serious alarm. Public anger is reach
