(Received July 25, at 9.55 a.m.) The Innisfail Trades and Labor Council has declared “ black ” the South Johnstone mill, and the fanners have threatened to cut off all food supplies.

Serious developments are expected, and additional police are being drafted to South Jolu-st.one.
Another disgraceful scene occurred near the mill, when a mob of strikers stopped a canc train and began to pull the canc from the trucks, while they toppled other trucks ever. A body of police arrived, and under their escort the locomotive and six trucks reached tho mill safely. The remaining tuneteen trucks, which were completely emptied, were placed on the line by farmers and taken to the mill.
