STRIKE AT VANCOUVER.
I.WAV. LEADER LYNCHED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, August 28. General dislocation on the Vancouver waterfront was recently caused by a strike of wharf labourers. The trouble began on July 30th, after an anxious week, in which there were instances of violence being used by strikers. The men went back to work on August sth. That evening the activity of the port was fully resumed. A leading officer of the 1.W.W., Frank Little, was taken from his lodginghouse at 3.30 a.m. by masked men and hanged to a railroad trestle on the outskirts of the city. After searching the lodging-house, six of the men found Little, and carried him into a waiting automobile. The body was discovered by the police at S o'clock. A card on the body bore the figures 3-7-77, the old sign of the vigilanta in Montana. Montana messages indicate that the lynching was due to the wrath of citizens at the I.W.W. operations in connection with the strike.
