Original sentence: Colebatch survived a barrage of projectiles when he personally confronted the strikers.One of the strikers, Tom Edwards, was killed by police.Strikers objected to goods being unloaded, in breach of quarantine and by non-union labour, from the ship Dimboola.The fact that the cargo included medical supplies was used to justify the unloading.The strike dragged on for almost a month, and would culminate in one of the most violent confrontations in West Australian history.Unlike previous crises, Colebatch was not seen to have have handled the strike well, and he sustained constant criticism during and after it.Within two weeks, Colebatch had yet another crisis to deal with: the Fremantle wharf stike of 1919
Edited sentence: However later investigations have concluded.It is difficult to see...[how Colebatch] could at any state have acted very much differently (De Garis, 1962).This would drag on for almost a month, and would culminate in one of the most violent confrontations in Western Australian history.Unlike previous crises, Colebatch was not seen to have have handled the wharf riots well, and he sustained constant criticism during and after the crisis.Within two weeks, Colebatch had yet another crisis to deal with: the Fremantle wharf riots of 1919
