STRIKERS IN WRONG
Pubic Indignation in Melbourne Where Bremen on Steamer Re fuse 10 Do Work.

Melbourne, July 23 LP)-Great public indignation prevails here be- cause of the refusal of fremen on the steamship Wecroona to perform their duties when 1000 guests of the federal ministry were ready to cast off from the dock on the vessel today to join the line of craft extending an official welcome to the incoming United States fleet The trip was abandoned
 The refusal was based on ill-feel- ing held hv the flremen against Prime Minister Bruce because Of a reference he made 10 the marine workers in speech delivered last week. The flremen thought the prime minister was aboard the ves- scl with other dignitaries today, and refused to go down in the vessel despite assurances that the prime minister was not passenger,
 Senator Pearce. in announcing bandonment of the trip, said that the f1remen had offered a gratuitous insult to the prime minister.
