DOCK STRIKERS.
MEN RESUMING. ENQUIRY DEMANDED. . ia and N. Z. Cable.Ji LONDON, July 26. Eight Hundred strikers have resumed at Tilbury despite the strong pickets. This is an increase of 400 since yesterday. The position at other docks is unchanged, although the men are showing increasing uneasiness. A serious encounter occurred between the strikers and the police in the vicinity of the Royal Albert docks. Missiles were thrown by the crowd and the police used their batons freely.
A meeting subsequently passed a resolution calling on the, Labour politicians for that division to demand a thorough enquiry into the “disgraceful, dishonourable and outrageous assault by the police on peaceful citizens.”
