UNRULY STRIKERS.
x TROUBLE IN TASMANIA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received May 23, 10.50 p.m. Hobart, May 23. A climax to the industrial trouble with the timber workers who are on strike at Geeveston, in the Huon district, was reached when unionists objected to the admission of loyalists to the picture show, and asked that they be rejected. The loyalists left, and went to their boardinghouse, followed by a crowd insulting and molesting them. The following night an attempt was made to blow up the boarding-house, a charge of gelignite being exploded at the rear of the building. There were no casualties; but considerable damage was caused. The explosion was heard five miles away.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
