BY VICTORIAN STRIKERS.
GRAVE SITUATION IN AUSTRALIA.
Night Attacks on Homes of Waterfront
Officials.
HYSTERICAL WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
FIREARMS ISSUED AT ADELAIDE.
The waterfront dispute took a grave and ominous turn yesterday and last night, when there was further rioting on the wharves at Adelaide, and the homes of two stevedores in Melbourne were attacked by jam-tin bombs.
To grapple with the situation at Adelaide, where strikers have brutally attacked volunteer labourers, the Essential Services Maintenance Association has been called up and issued with rifles, and is being drilled by army instructors.
Search is being made for suspects of the bombing outrages in Melbourne, in which the wife of one stevedore became hysterical and the wife of the other was taken to hospital suffering from shock.
