♦—©■ POLICE BRUTALITY. STRONG PRESS COMMENTS. By Telegvai)li.— lH-es- C <>j>>a >rm Received Tuesday, 11.20 p.m. Lcndon. Tuscany, j The Trades Union debute at Man- j Chester was noisy and excited, and the delegates were much disquieted a net a number abstained from attendina the civic reception as a demonstration against the so-called butchery of workers, I Mr Smiilio supported r.'solution I pledging all delegates io boycott the | reception but the resolution was de- j feared, i Mr Ben Tillett characterised the Government a? a bloody Government. If the massacre at, Dublin was to continue the workers must; have (he right to use firearms. Mr Stanton advocated a general strike as a repiy to the Dublin affair. A deputation from the Dublin Trades Council meets the Congress today. Three hundred striking dav workers at St Austell have returned to work under police protection. A large force ol pickets attempted to prevent them forcing the police to charge with their batons. Forty were injured, including the strike leaders, before the crowd dispersed. The Chronicle's Dublin correspondent alleges the police used uneccssary violence and a little tact might have prevented the disturbances. The baton charges were reprisals for what occurred on Saturday and some of the police lost their heads and their tempers. Hannei Booth says at the time of Lni'h-in's arrest Sackvilie street was iilied with promenadevs. Afterwards the most brutal constabulary over i. ! loose upon a peaceful assembly rushed up and down the sf:eet like men possessed. The kicking of prostrate victims as a settled part or the police programme, which none resented, no attempt was made at rescue and there was no abuse of the noliee. Most of the respectable people, crawled away with bleeding heads. The Daily Mail says the police erred on the side of brutality. They de- , liberately wailed for runaway:- and ; clubbed them as they ran. Photoi granhs show this distinct!}-. ! THE CASUALTY LIST. I Received this day, '.KoO a.m. London,' Tuesday.
