LABOUR TROUBLES
The Queensland. Shearers.
A Revolutionary Document.
The Point of the Bayonet'
(United Press Association).
Brisbane, March 28
The. documrnt which was taken from the Unionists by the troopers at JBarcaldine on Wednesday is of a revolutionary character, and shows that the trouble is not to be confined to Queensland, but that it is to embrace all the southern colonies.
Murphy, a prominent loader at Roma, has been arrested on a charge of being concerned in the compilation of the document.
On arrival of the troops under Colonel French at Gympie, they were rather roughly jostled by a band of about 400 men, but eventually the obstructionists were compelled to clear the way to the drillshed at the point of the bayonet. In the scuffle several persons were slightly injured by thrusts from the bayenets.
