THE BRITISH STRIKE.
United Press Association—By B.leetrio Telegraph.—Copyright. London, Jnly 14.
Four hundred dockers, with Federation tickets in their hats, and with their wives and children, marched in a procession from the B*st End to the Workhouse. The women dropped out, and the men demanded outdoor relief, which was refused. Three hundred entered the Workhouse. Many refused porridge, and were supplied with other food. The movement is clearly defeated now, and the men are merely seeking to save the faces of the leaders. MORE RIOTS AT TILBURY. Received July 15, 9 a.m. There was renewed rioting at'Tilbury. Trains were stoned. Two large shipping firms received a deputation from the “strike oommittee'and agreed that if the strikers resumed they would recognise the Sailors and Firemen's Unions and increase the wages due. A deadlock ensued owing to the men demanding recognition of the Transporters’ Federation.
