BEER TOO DEAR.
LONDON DOCKERS ON STRIKE. A MILLION GO DRY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Feb. 21, 7.30 pan. London, Feb. 20. A beer boycott has begun in dockland in London. A million transporters have gone dry and entered a solemn league covenant not to drink until the price is reduced. Every bar was desolate in dockland to-day, except foe a few martyrs eating sandwiches to the accompaniment of tea, coffee or cocoa. Mr. Bevin, the dockers’ secretary, is trying* to make the boycott effective throughout the country, but thus far there has been little success in the provinces. Instead, the working men's clubs are petitioning the Chancellor of the Exchequer to reduce the beei tax, which is the real cause of the high prices.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
