(U.P.A. by Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received March .11, 11.40 p.m.) SYDNEY, March 11.
The disord'erliness which marked meetings of Communist and other Radical organisations in the Domain during past (weeks was repeated today and resulted in over 20 arrests, including some women. A march had been contemplated from the Central railway station to the Domain, but the police would not permit it. ■As the afternoon wore on, the crowds beorne thick at the Communist stand, where several speakers held forth. When a man started to try and sell literature, and (was warn ed : by the police, trouble began and, for a time, it looked as if a serious riot might easily develop. People flocked from other stands, and ,in the excitement, the police had a difficult task to get their prisoners away and prevent the crowd from be coming out of hand. Fortunately, i the . hardest things bandied about were words, which did no harm. The speakers resented the ban on the sale of their Htrature, denouncing the police and the authorities roundly, as “Fascists .monsters' 5 antf other enemies of the working class proletariat.
