MARITIME STRIKE.
ATTEMPT TO RUSH LOYALISTS
BEATEN OFF BY POLICE,
AN OFFER PROM BRISBANE
MELBOURNE. May 28
The Melbourne strikers attempted to rush the wharf where loyalists were unloading a steamer, but wore easily defeated by a strong body of police.
The New South Wales Federation has received advices from the Brisbane branch that the men in Brisbane are prepared to work intor-State cargo be loaded entirely by watorsiders’ labour. It is not likely that the owners will agree to this, as it would mean abandonment of preference to the loyalists who are at present loading oversea steamers. There are fourteen Newcastle colleries idle.
