NEARLY A RIOT
MORE DISORDER IN SYDNEY DOMAIN. TROUBLE WITH COMMUNISTS. OVER TWENTY ARRESTS. (Received Sunday, 11.20 p.m.) SYDNEY, March 11. The disorderliness which has marked the meetings of Communist and other radical organisations in the Domain during past weeks was repeated to-day and resulted in over twenty arrests, including some women. A march had been contemplated from the Central Railway Station to the Domain, but the police would not permit this. As the afternoon wore on the crowds became thick at the Communist stand, where several speakers held forth. When a man started to try to sell literature and was warned by the police, trouble began, and for a time it looked as if a serious riot might easily develop. People flocked from other stands and in the excitement t.he police had a difficult task to get their prisoners away and to prevent the crowd from becoming out of hand. Fortunately the hardest things bandied about were words, which did no harm. The speakers resented the ban on the sale of their literature and denounced the police and authorities roundly as Fascist monsters and other enemies of the working class proletariat.
