MELBOUBNE, 7th March,
Tavo thousand unionists, largely timber workers, marched from the Trades Hall to the Court as a protest against the prosecution of Holloway, secretary to the Trades Hall Council, on a charge of inciting the Timber Workers' Union to do something in tho nature of a strike. The alleged incitement was contained in a statement supplied to the newspapers. The case is proceeding.
Hollo way was fined £.f)0, with costs £23 2s. A stay of proceedings was granted. Holloway, who was not represented by counsel, intimated that he did not intend to pay the fine. He claimed that he had done more in the past twenty years than any other man to maintain peace in industry. Four hundred marching timber strikers clashed with the police in Flinders street to-day, when an attempt was made to'upset a load of timber. Two plain-clothes policemen courageously intervened and used their batons and handcuffs. One man was felled and sent to hospital, and the others were dispersed.
