LONDON DOCK STRIKE.
CAUSES OF THE TROUBLE.
By Telegraph.—rrcss Association. —Copyright London, Thursday. Hundreds of strike breakers are reaching the docks to-day. A privately organised civilian force escorted numerous workers to the docks last night. The Shipping Gazette stateß that the Shaw-SaviH'a donkeymen struck including those on the refrigerating engines of the Waimana and the Rangntira.
The Shipping Federation's vessel Lady Jocelyn, filled with free labourers, attempted to enter the Ablert Docks to replace the donkeymen, but the Port Authority refused the Lady Jocelyn admission it is reported, in consequecne of Mr McKenna's understanding with the strikers.
The special meeting of the London Chamber of Commerce pasßed a resolution affirming the right of employers to engage either unionists or nonunionists and urging the Government to afford protection. The uanningtown rioters were fined 40s or, in the alternative, a month's imprisonment. Further harness-cutting occurred in the East End to-day, carts containing some of the b.p. Hector's apples be-
ing upset. The Strike Committee has isBUPd hundreds of permits, including those for the removal of refuse.
