NORFOLK FARM STRIKE.
POLICE PROTECT WORKERS. KING'S LOYAL EMPLOYEES. REFUSE TO LEAVE WORK. Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. LONDON, April 11. The arrival of reinforcements of police had a quietening effect on the Norfolk farm strikers. Roving bands are.followed by police in motor lorries, and as a result, many labourers who were intimidated are returning to work. Scores of farmers' sons and pupils of schools are leaving London to engage in farm work. The strikers' leader visited King George's estates at Sandringham and urged the workers to join the union. The King employs about sixty men, only four of whom are unionists. Addressing the meeting the strike leader said: "We ask you to join the union and stand firm. Your brothers are now fighting a noble battle." When asked who would be the first man to join, none responded.
