TROUBLE EXPECTED
NEW GUARD ACTIVlTY SYDNEY, Thursday. The exceptional activity among members of the New Guard is causing comsiderable interest. Nightly meetings, mobilisations, drill, and secret manoeuvres along military lines in various suburbs are attracting much protest in the Labour press. There is even talk of kidnapping the Premier. The unexpected arrival of the police last night, checkmated a big gathering of guardsmen at Fairfield, an outer suburb. Although plans were not disclosed, the police contented themselves with booking the number plates of a large fleet of cars in which the men travelled to their rendezvous. The general feeling of the. community is that the New Guard anticipates some form of trouble shortly and this may synchronise with the opening of the harbour bridge, in which they are desirous that Mr. Lang should not participate.
