SYDNEY, June 3
The. Freeman case, is assuming a serious aspect. The public are thoroughly aroused, demanding a fair trial. Crowds besieged tho wharf to-day. The Labour sections are determined to hold up the Sonoma until Freeman is put a.Vore. Wharf labourers refused to work tho cargo, and the seamen and firemen threatened to strike unless the military authorities sanction tho removal of Freeman, who denies tho allegations that he is of German extraction or has any connection with the I.W.W. A meeting of 1000 held up the traffic in the centre of the city to-night to protest against Freeman’s detention. There were further demonstrations tonight in connection with the Freeman affair, and some collisions with the police. The mob threatened to invade the wharf, and the police used their batons.
