REFUGEES SUFFER
WEST AUSTRALIAN RIOTING. WITHOUT FOOD OR DRINK. WANDERING IN EXTREME HEAT. (United Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) PERTH, This Day. A miners' meeting at Boulder resolved that British miners would not work in the Golden Mine with unnaturalised foreigners. - Pitiable stories are told by refugees who are returning to Kalgoorlie. Following the riots, some foreign refugees walked 20 miles, not knowing where they were. The temperature during the day was 100 degrees. The men were without food or drink for 24 hours. Women and children, of whom there were many, suffered terribly. Police patrols thoroughly scoured the bush and brought in all the women and children, but a number of men still refused-to return.,
Food is being distributed to the destitute, scantily-clad foreigners.
