On Monday the strike leaders, having been refused His Majesty's, approached Mr. John Fuller for the use of the Theatre Royal, and the old theatre in Johnston Street was placed at 'their disposal for meetings other than public ones. But their tenure was shortlived. It appears that the remainder of Messrs. Fuller and Sons' lease of the Theatre Royal has been acquired by tho Crown, who propose erecting oil. tho site a new police station at a later date, and the proposal to let tho strikers have'the use of the theatre, coming to the ears of officials, Mr. Fuller was informed that his action was not likelj

So the seamen had perforco to retire and seek other premises.
