BETRAYS VIOLENT ANGLOPHOBIA. POLICE THREATEN TO STRIKE. [By Electric Cable —Copyright] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Sunday, 7 p.m.) DELHI, June 30. A Teheran cable states that in consequence of continuous libellious attacks in the local press against the British Legation and British policy, the Persian Government intends shortly submitting to the Mejliso, a Press Act prohibiting publication of such scandalous attacks. Two newspapers were suspended on Tuesday and the Premier also suppressed an objectionable anti-British article in another paper on Wednesday. The police have sent a petition drawing attention to the fact that their salaries have not been paid for several months and threatening to strike if they are not forthcoming within ten days. The petition adds that the police will remain on strike until the salaries are paid and arrangements made for regular payment in future.
