Larkin, the Leader.

——+ DUBLIN STRIKE OPINIONS. STRIKE BREAKERS AT WORK. [jd? Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association..; (Received 9.'20 a.m.) ' London, November 23. Mr Haveloek-Wilson the secretary oi' the Union, in a manifesto, says Larkin had absolutely controlled the Dublin branch of the Sailors' and Firemen's Union for the last two years. The union had been involved in continuous disputes without reference to the governing body. The present strike could have been finished if common sense had prevailed. Mr Wilson asks whether those booming Larkin can justify his disregard of the agreements.

Seven hundred strike-breakers in Dublin are receiving 35s a week and free meals. They send a cargo of cattle to Birkenhead daily. The Citizen says: "British labour can only exert its full influence on behalf of the Dublin strikers by trusting itself to the guidance of well-tried leaders. Larkin does not serve his own or Labour's cause by sowing distrust between the leaders and their followers."

ROOT REMEDY NEEDED.

London, November 22

Mr Larkin, in a manifesto, invites English trades unionists to compel the leaders to terminate the warfare in Dublin. He declares that the leaders should act, though trades unionists intended to salve the sore of poverty, ill-usage, long hours and low wages. It is a. root remedy that is wanted, not industrial commissioners, conciliation boards, or Cabinets to chloroform the workers and persuade them to remain as dumb, driven dogs.
