HOLDING UP TRAFFIC
WORKERS AT BLACKWALL TUNNEL
ONLY FOOD ALLOWED TO PASS,
(Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) LONDON, sth May. There were strange scenes at the Blackball Tunnel Dock. Workers captured the entrance and stopped every car and lorry going to and from the tunnel and examined the contents of every lorry. Only those containing food and essential supplies wero allowed to pass. Passengers were compelled to dismount, and if there was opposition the drivers were ordered to turn back. Any cars attempting to force a passage were overturned. Numbers of cars thus suffered and the inmates were roughly handled. A force of police, including some mounted troopers, were on duty, but beyond seeing that there was no undue violence they adopted a passive attitude.
