DOCKERS’ LEADERS HOWLED DOWN.
LONDON, July 22. (Received July 23, at 2.55 p.m.) Messrs Gosling and Bevan, of the Transport Workers’ Union, were howled down by 5,000 dockers when they attempted to put the union’s case before the meeting. As soon as the leaders mounted the platform tho crowd “booed” and cried “Taitors, swine, cowards! You have sold us.” The unofficial leaders thereupon called on the dockers to show their contempt for the leaders by leaving the hall, which they did, leaving only tho leaders on tho platform. Messrs ” Gosling and Bevan were greatly affected by this treatment. Mr Bevan said he would make another effort to convince the men.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
