STRIKE AT SORROW.
These misguided individuals in New Zealand who seek to redress economic wrongs by appeals to violence, should tike warning from what has happened over the dockers' strike in England. A London busineso firm, writing to a correspondent in the Dominion under dato June 28th, says: —"I here is undoubtedly existing throughout the dock districts from London .Bridge to Tilbury a horrible reign of terror. There is an organised arrangement, whereby gangs of three or four men aro transported or exchanged from one district to another, where they will not be known, and these gangs attack any worker they can get hold of, pouncing upon him unexpectedly, battering him, and then running. This is done so suddenly that the victim Has no time to cry out, and his assailants are away before people can even, realise what has happened. Men working are also threatened that they shall have their houses wrecked. Were it not lor this state of terror, it may safely bo said that nine-tenths of the men would be at work to-dnv."
