der to Return to work-Will
Fight to End.

London, May S0.-The striking dock
and transport workers openly defied the
government to-day when they refused
to comply with an order posted by the
authorities Of the port directing the men
to return to work until the grievances
could be adjusted. This action on the
part OF the strikers was precipitated by
the refusal Of the ship owners TO meet
representatives Of the Board OF Trade
and the dock and transport federations
in conference on Friday. The ship
owners have decided to defy the union
and the union has decided to defy both
ship owners and government
Crowds OF stevedores gathered at the
docks to-day, but all refused to 90 to
work The work Of unloading provisions
from ships was continued under police
escort In fear OF hostile operations on
the part OF the idle men, more than 1000
policemen were on duty.
The food situation now offers no cause
for alarm. The supply on hand Is
enough for the demand.

London, the supply OF meat is now in.
excess Of the demand.
Harry Gosling, leader Of the strikers,
declared to-day that his followers were
ready to meet the employers at their
own game.
-They say that they intend to fight

fnd that a game two can play. We
are entitled to have something TO say
about conditions under which our men
work"
The struggle has now resolved itself
into death grapple with unionism as
the bone Of contention.
