SYDNEY, May 6., The storm of indignation against the Domain flag-burning continues. The newspapers publish columns of protest. Big ioyalist demonstrations have been arranged for to-night and on Sunday. The Labour Council has resolved that the burning of the flag was a provocative act, intended to discredit the May Day proceedings, and engineered by a few fanatics with the object of driving a wedge of dissension into the ranks of the working class.
