OPINION IN LONDON.
SYMPATHY WITH THE GOVERNMENT. ,
THE MEN'S ACTION CONDEMNED
(Received May 12th, 12.2 a.m.) LONDON, May 11,
The "Standard" says the strike, besides being immediately injurious to Victoria's prosperity, is a manifestation of general danger to the Commonwealth. It characterises the strike as a deliberate attempt by a political party to control the machinery of business, in order to dictate to the Government, and further declares that Mr Irvine is right to incur any hazard to prevent a section of the community from acquiring dictatorial power. The "Morning Post" says that if the Government remains firm there can be mo doubt aa to the final issue. It is monstrous that irresponsible strikers should have power to dislocate traffic and interfere with the convenience and comfort of millions of people.
The "Daily Graphic" declares that since the civil servants were granted direct legislative representation, the action of the labour bodies was .all the more indefensible.
