DOCK STRIKE SHOULDERS
10000 London Workers Assert
Leaders Betrayed Them.
IN Cahle ID ~ Tribune. !

London, July 2S.--The strike Of the
dock workers is still smouldering, not
withstanding that the leaders declared
it off yesterday and in manifesto o.
dered the men to return to work
The leaders found themselves in n
quandary to-day. Having ordered q
resumption Of work, they attended q
demonstration Of the men, whom they
were to address on the decision de-
claring the strike at an end. To their
surprise they found the men in pos
session Of four platforms, and up
braiding the leaders for selling them to
the employers.
Astutely the members of the strike
committee who signed the manifesto
said il was a mere test OF the mems
feelings, drawn up for them to vote
upon. The assertion that the RESPONSE
blity was meant 10 be cast upon the
shoulders of the men who continue on
strike was met with fiat denial.
Because the strikers present pro-
fessed to ignore the order to return to
work it must not be concluded that the
strike is not over. for il actually Is
broken. From now on what remains OF
il will be guerilla warfare. The de-,
laration that the manifesto was test
of the mems feelings is regarded as a
piece of bluff.
Thirty thousand men attended to-
days demonstration of the strikers,
which was held in Southwark Park.
They were angry, and, protesting that
their leaders had betrayed them. voted

PAPAL DECREE STANDS
Parish Priest Still Must Assent
to Mixed Marriages..

Rome, July 2S.--The report that the
Pope has revoked the decree ne tcmere
is unfounded, nor IS ne likely to revoke
IL. as it embodies provisions which have
governed Church procedure for two CEN
turtles
II is probable that the misunderstand-
ing with respect to the revocation OF the
decree arose through the suspension Of
the provision relating TO mixed mar
riages in Germany and Hungary. The
other provisions, however, are in full
force in those countries
In the United States and England the
decree still applies in its entirety BY

and q Protestant without the sanction
Of the parish priest is void. 1t is de-
clared that possibly the United States
