taken to indicate that the British Gov
eminent does not intend to interfere with
the deportation OF strikers from South

allow II. In either case the men who have
been deported can appeal to me Privy
Council for redress, hut II Viscount Glad
stone and the King both give their assent
TO the bill they will have no remedy.
