LONDON DOCKERS.
A PREMATURE CABLE. London, Thursday. The Daily Telegraph says that Mr Ben Tillett's telegram, stating that the dockers will refuse to discharge the Athenic, is altogether premature. The matter has never been officially considered in London, and not a few representative dockers consider that the present ia not a felicitous time to raise the issue. In any case, Mr Tillett is unable to speak for the dockers. LABOUR ADOCATE/S VIEWS. GENERAL STRIKE CONDEMNED. Mr M. J. Reardon, a member of | the Labour Cjuncil, and secretary of the. General Labourers' Union and other unions, is evidently not in agreement with the methods adonifd by thn Federation leaders. In sn j interview Mr Reardon said:--"!:-, their calm find dispassionate momm.-; Hie inenihori o c the union 1 hi it > Y I^' iirimn Irivo vott (1 ill 1 m<M J r , Pn UcVl " ill' -l1 1 1 , 1 ll( "l .

able to show, in all its 'propaganda' work that the general strike has ever been successful in any country or under any circumstances.
