HOWLED DOWN
5000 DOCKERS DEMONSTRATE.
SORRY TIME FOR LEADERS. MOB OUT OF HAND. (Per Press Association, Copyright). (Received This Day, 2.55 p.m.) LONDON, July 22. Mr Gosling, and Mr Be van, of the Transport Workers’ Union, were howled down by 5000 dockers when they attempted to put the union’s case before a meeting. As soon as the leaders mounted the platform the crowd booed and cried: “Traitors! Swine! Cowards! You have sold us.” Unofficial leaders thereupon called the dockers to show their contempt for the leaders by leaving the hall, which they did, leaving only the leaders on the platform. Messrs Gosling and Bevan were greatly affected by the treatment. Mr Bevan said he would make another effort to convince the men.
