STRIKERS AND FREE LABOURERS.—KNIVES AND REVOLVERS USED IN ENGLAND.
Bloodshed marked the end of the dock strike in England. I’rec labourers and strikers fought a pitched battle at Victoria Docks on .July 30, revolvers, knives, and bottles being used. Eight men were shot and scores were more or less injured before the p»l ice succeeded in restoring peace. Later in the day other tights occurred, necessitating truiK-heiHi charges by police, who tinally assembled in force and dislodged the combatants from public-houses and shops in which they had taken refuge. The photo shows this work in progress, with two men hastily departing from the door of the public-house.
