The police were stoned by timber strikers during a mass picketing demonstration outside Hudson’s timber yards at Glebe on Saturday as the volunteer workers were leaving the yards. Over 200 police were in attendance as escort and 2000 strike pickets who were urged on by women attempted to isolate the volunteers. Four men were arrested. During the demonstration one constable was injured by a flying missile. The police succeeded in keeping the strikers back while the workers reached the trams. Women spat at the police and volunteers and shouted abuse as they passed. After singing revolutionary songs the strikers dispersed. _____
