WHARF RIOTS.
Volunteers Guarded By
Police.
IRE AGAINST ITALIANS.
ADELAIDE, January 15,
As a result of the rioting on the Port Adelaide wharves yesterday the police are now strongly guarding volunteer labourers.
There were isolated disturbances today. One volunteer was roughly handled, but the batons of the police had a salutary effect on would-be assailants.
Wharf labourers complain bitterly that there is no work offering while Italians are available. The representatives of the shipowners state that rioting will make them all the more determined to employ Southern Europeans.
