DISORDER IN DOMAIN
POLICE AND PROPAGANDA
TWENTY ARRESTS IN SYDNEY
SYDNEY, March 11. The disorderliness which has marked meetings of Communist and other radical organisations in the Domain during past weeks was repeated today, and resulted in over 20 arrests, including some women. A march had been contemplated from the Central Railway Station to the Domain, but the police declined to permit this. As the afternoon wore on crowds became thick at the Communist stand, where several speakers held forth. When a man started to try to sell literature and was warned by JJie police, trouble began, and for a time it looked as if a serious riot might easily develop. People flocked from other stands, and, in the excitement, the police had a difficult task to get their prisoners away and prevent the crowd becoming out of hand. Fortunately the hardest .things . bandied about were words, which did no harm. The speakers resented the ban on the sale of their literature and denounced the police authorities roundly as Fascist monsters and enemies of the working class and proletariat.
