The baton charges of the police eventually cleared the quays. ALL PARTIES TO BLAME AUCKLAND BUSINESS MAN ON THE TROUBLE. [BT TELEGRAPH — PRESS ASSOCIATION.^ AUCKLAND, This Day.' Mr. Matthew Clark, a leading business man, who has returned from London, eaid that he thought employees, employers, and the British Government officials were all blameworthy in connection with the labour upheavals. The workers were inclined to rush into strikes without justifiable causes, tho employers stubborn in giving way, tho Government lax in enforcing law and order. In tho latter respect, a charge of supineness waa being laid at the door of the present Government by large numbers of people in England. The preservation of industrial peace would depend on the strength of the Government in power. They must be, after all, tho final arbiters.
