The Queensland Trouble.
The Document which was taken from the Unionists by the troopers at Barcalrline on Wednesday is of a revolutionary character, and shows that the trouble is not to be confined to Queensland, but that it is to embrace all the Southern colonies. Murphy, a prominent labour leader at Roma, has been arrested on a charge of being concerned in the compilation of the document. On arrival of the troops under Colonel French afc Gympie they were rather roughly jostled by a band of i about four hundred men, but eventu- i illy the obstructionists were com- i pelled to clear the way to the drill- i shed at the point of the bayonet. In i bhe scuffle several persons were 1 slightly injured by thrusts from the i bayonets. < A prominent labour leader, named i Berry, who succeeded the officers 1 previously arrested, was taken into 1 sustody on his arrival at Clermont. \ Four hundred and fifty military i ire now stationed in the disturbed ] listricts. i The Unionists leaders have cabled i
to the Government of the Argentine Republic asking if they are willing to assist bush workers to take up land with a view to establishing co-opera-tive colonies.
