TROUBLE AT DUNEDIN.

STRIKERS ATTACK A £OBBY> ■~ ONE IIA2J ARKESTJED. (By Telegraph.—Press AssodaSon.) . DTJXEDIX, thie day. As one of Spencer and DtmHey's lorries, loaded with chemical manure, was leaving the wharf this morning half a dozen men jumped on it and began to throw the contents into the roadway. Police jumped on to the cart, with the idea of stopping further interference. AH but one. a man named T.nsseH, escaped. Application was made for bail in Ms case, bat was refused. Russell appears before the Court to-morrow.

A-quarter of an hour afterwards another of Spencer and Dunkley's lorries came down to be loaded, but there was no disorder beyond chaff, police lines keeping the strikers back. Cross wharf has been barricaded by the Harbour Hoard employees from end to end, the idea being apparently to work the Corinna's cargo. Advice from Port Chalmers states that the Shipwrights' Union, numbering .twenty, came out on strike as the result oi a meeting last night.

Last evening an Arbitratitraist -worker who bad t!he hardihood to come along by Croea wharf was struck on the cheek as he was stepping off the wharf to go up Rattray Street. The man. ran for protection, but eventually was surrounded by a number of strikers and made th-e subject of some heated "persuasion." Shortly after, a loud cheer intimated that the Arbitrationist had succumbed to •"peaceful" picketing, and did not • intend to return to the Moeraki tomorrow morning.
