Among those who wore present at our Jubilee Banquet on Thursday last there was no difference of opinion that it was the- most successful function of its kmd ever held in London within the memory of living men. The incident of the drunken intruder whose name we knowonly added zest to the proceedings in the vigorous anti-protest which it spontaneously evoked, Every nationality was represented, including two young Afrikander gentlemen from, the Oraugo Free State, who arrived in London only a week, and who thoroughly enjoyed themselves up to the moiuont of separation, shortly before five o'clock ou Friday morning. sm Mr.

Labouohere gallantly remained until three clock. We know of no man so long in public life whoso political career has been so consistent, who has been so uucompromisiugly Democratic. In any Radical administration his post ought to be high. It is disgrace to the intelligence of the people of thiscoimtry that men like him should not be governing it. Herbert Burrows, who acted as tho secretary of our Jubileo celebration, ha3 had an interesting political career.

Ho comes from Puritan and Ironside stock and his two grandiathers were agricultural labourers. His mother waB a domestic serrant unci bis father was a working tailor and village postman, who applied some hue oratorical power to the Chartist movemen t. In his young days Herbert Burrows was an assistant master at Redhill. Later ou we find him at Cambridge University, where lie was a contemporary of William Clarke, M.A., and both of them wrote political leaders for the Cambridge Independent Press. Then Burrows turned his attention to tho agricultural labourers of Fast Anglia.

Somewhere about 1S80 he was secretary to the Radical Committee formed to stop the monstrous not.ou of a statue in Westminster Abuey of the Prince Imperial. With H. M. ilyudtuan, he was a founder of the S.D.F. In 1S93 he was a delegate to the American Labour Congress and later on a leader of the match girls in their striko against Bryant and May.

Brought up a Methodist, Burrows has been successively a High Churchman, a Unitarian, and a Theosophist. He is still youthful in temperament and very eneigetio, although he has within the last few days entered upon his fifty -sixth year. Messrs. Fradelle and Young, the photographers, were responsible for providing a great deal of amusement through their enormous phonograph, which sung songs and repeated the speeches of Mr. Tom Mann and others, who spoke into its receptive mouth.

G-. W. R. EXPRESS DASHES INTO A TRAIN AT SLOUGH YESTERDAY. 4 KILLED, 60 INJURED.

NAMES OE KILLED AND INJURED. Slough Station, on the Great Western Railway, wa3 yesterday afternoon the scene of a serious collision. The platforms at tho time were crowded with people, many of whom were on their way to the Windsor Races aud tho accident naturally caused much oxcite-ment. From what call be gathered it appears that the l.S p.m. passenger train from Paddingtou was standing in the station while tickets were beiug collected when the West of England express, which left the London terminus ten minutes later, crashed with great force into its rear.

Several persons iu the Windsor train intended attending the races. Tho impact was so serious that two carriages were smashed and the unfortunate occupants were all more or less seriously injured. Assistance was qtiiokly obtained and in a very short time it was discovered that four passengers had been killed, while tho injured were believed to number sixty-four. Immediately on information of tho accident being received at Paddington, Mr. Wilkinson, tho general manager, and several other officials left for Slough.

LATEST DETAILS. Telegraphing later, the Central News correspondent at Slough says The accident occurred right in the station on the down main line. 'Tickets were being collected when, almost without warning, an express dashed into the standing train with fearful violence. Two carriages were completely smashed and not a person in them escaped uninjured. Tho damage to rolling stock and permanent way is very extensive.

The causo of the disaster has not yet been satisfactorily explained. The Windsor correspondent of tho Central News telegraphs Fourteen of the most serious cases of those injured in tho Slough railway accident were brought into' Windsor by special train shortly after' three o'clock iu the afternoon and taken to the Royal Infirmary. Several of therm are in a precarious condition. The loss serious cases have been sent from Slough to St. Mary's and other London hospitals.

Within a few minutes of the collision Windsor doctors were telephoned to, and this was the earliest intimation of the disaster which reached here. The first doctor to start for Slough was Dr. Fairbank, and he went over in a special train provided by the railway company. Dr. Bruce Porter soon afterwards raced from Windsor to Siougli on a motor car.

Tho scene of tho accident at the railway station presented a shocking spectacle and there were many affecting scenes at Windsor. The injured men and women wero moved from the station to the ambulances in waiting. As soon as the news of tho diaastor became generally known a large crowd gathered at tho Windsor Station to inquire an to the welfare of friends who were expected by the ill-fated train. The engine of the West of" England train, named the Kennefc, after the collision, mounted the tail end of the wrocked carriages nud ploughed on for some distance, bringing down about 100ft. of the rooftog of the platform and scattering dibris in all directions.

A covered foot bridge was also damaged by the dying wreckage, much of the glass being smashed. Four of the coaches of the Windsor train wore wrecked, the woodwork of one being completely carried away and strewn alone the lino. On inquiry nt Paddington Station a representative of the Central News was informed that the collection of tickets from the 1.5 local train wa3 delayed at Slough owing to the pressure of tho racing traffic aud while it was standing in tho station the Western oxpresa, which loft Paddington at 1.15, was, by some unhappy mischauco, allowed to pass the signals. Two carriages were smashed and derailed by tho force of the collision and, owing- to the damage to permanent way, traffic had to be temporarily suspended. A largo medical staff and ambulance corps were sent from Paddington to Slough by special train as soon as news of tho disaster reached the liead office.

A special correspondent of tho Press Association telegraphing late last evening says: The collision resulted in the loss of four lives and injury of a more or less serious character to about sixty other persons."

Leader Correspondent. A NOTABLE EVICTION. Montreal, June 13. The most notable case of eviction in the history of Canada since the expulsion of the Acadinns from Grand Pre, which furnished the poet Longfellow with the subject of his poem Evangeline," was practically closed to-day, when tho evicted residents of Anticosti Island, numbering sixty souls, reached Quebec, having abandoned their struggle with M. Menier, the French chocolate manufacturer, who has purchased the island.

The evicted inhabitants are proceeding to the North-West Territories, where the. Canadian Government will provide them with farming lands. Many harrowing storieo aro told regarding the treatment of the tenants by M. Menier's agents, who are said to have compelled the people to abandon their homes and belongings or starve, under the rules which the new proprietor had laid down. When 'the peopie were first landed they were penniless and have since depended entirely on public bounty.

Their departure from Quebec is delayed consequence of a civil action instituted against Mr. Griffith, who championed their cause, and whom M. Menier accuses of inciting to resist the law. Mr. John Stubbart, a wealthy lobster packer, is now the only man remaining on Anticosti Island, and he announces his intention of fighting Menier to the end.

Clarke, a friend, realizing what had happened, pushed Mrs. Bernard Betre to tho floor of the carriage, and it. is probable that tlii3 prompt action saved tho distin-EUished actress from more serious injuries or death. Mr. Clarke was slightly iujured, and his brother Dr.

ivt ri -of Senkstrect, was injured more seriously. Mr. Oliver, though severely shaken and slightly bruised, was not injured. As he turned to his wife he found that she was badly bruised about the arms and bleeding and that the shock of the accident had caused her to faint. With assistance he lifted her out of the compartment, tho side of which had been smashed in, and had her carried across tho road to the Royal Hotel, whore medical aid was promptly secured.

Mr. Olivier also wired to London for her special medical adviser and last evening it was seen that the injured lady's condition was in way serious. A PEACE OF MCND THAT PROVED FATAL. Mr. G.

Raw-kins, secretary to the Notting Hill Electric Lightiiip Company, who was a passenger by the Windsor train, also mado a statement to tho London News Agency representative. Mr. Rnwkins, who lives at Slough and travels up to town every day, occupied a second-class compartment in tho third carriage from the rear end of the train. Ho end a friend -r- -who was injured in the smash took a cab together from. Notting Hill to Paddington and jut caught their train, Their compartment was the end one of the third coach aud in the subsequent smash half of the coach was carried "way.

How seven of the eight occupants escaped with their lives is almost a miracle. Mr. Rawkius says that he and his friend stepped out on the platform at Slough when the tickets were being collected. The other occupants, with one exception, also stepped out. The gentleman who remained behind was killed.

He is believed to be Mr. Bioomfield, tho Duke of Leeds's valet. Mr. Rawkins said to him as he stepped out, 'Won't you get out for a minute," and the other replied, "No, thanks; I'm quito comfortable here." He occupied a seat by the window. A.

minute later the carriage was torn to ribbons and the unfortunate passenger was killed. INTERVIEW WITH THE INJURED. A representative of the London News Agency who visited St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, last evening, had an interview with Mr, Lewis Solomon, a fruiterer of 100, Long-acra. Mr.

Solomon, whoso injuries to the head and right band had just been dressed, said I and my mother were going down to the races and were in tha train that was smashed into. We had stopped at Slough and they had just taken tickets when the express camo crashing into us. We were in the third carriage from the end of the train and we received about twenty seconds' warning from persons on the platform. Of course r-ush was made to get out of the carriages, whioh, by the way, were greatly overcrowded, the compartment we were in being filled by about seventeen or eighteen persons. We might have succeeded in getting out had it not beon for tho conduct of three foreigners, who forced their passago out without any regard to their fellow-passengers.

My mothor and I were still in the carriage when the crash came. Then I no more until I found myself on the metals beneath a heap of dibri. I heard my mother calling, Louis, Louis," and managed to crawl out of tho broken carriage and reach her. I assisted her from among a great heap of splinters and broken glass and I believe she has both her legs injured. It is a marvel to mo that so many escaped with their lives, as the carriages lhat were smashed were simply one heap of splinters.

I believe most of tho females have been left at Slough and that many others have been taken to Windsor. Mr. Thomas Pickett, of 40, Trafalgar-square, Wal-worth-road, another of the injured passengers, who was also attended at St. Mary's said "I was going down to the races. Ourfir3t stop was at Slough, where they collected tickets.

Thoro seemed to me to be a great deal of delay. I was in the second carriage from the rear of the train. I was thrown right through ono ot tho windows when the collision occurred, but fortunately sustained very slight injury and wns able to holp rescno some of the more seriously injured from the wreckage." Mr. Nelson Greenaway, of 117, Stamford-afreet, Blaokfriare, who sustained serious injuries to the spine, was brought up to St. Mary's Hospital.

There his father who wns in tho wrecked train, but escaped with slight injury, told a reporter, Mv son accompanied mo to Paddington, but there, owing to the crowd, we got separated. When the collision took place the roof of tho carriage in which my Fon was so completely removed and the force of the collision was so great that my son was thrown through the top of the carriage on to the line. Sovoral of the cases at tho Paddington Hospital will, it is feared, have a fatal termination. It is officially admittod by tho Great Western Railway that four persons wero killed and sixty injured by the collision. It is also admitted that the express ran by the distanoo signals.

ACCIDENT ON THE L.C. AND D. RAILWAY. On Friday afternoon the four o'clock up train from Dover mot with an accident between Fawkham and Farningham-road Stations. From some cause, at present not stated, the ongine loft tho rails, but fortunately the carriages kept the metals.

LONDON WEEK BY WEEK. 9 LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL. HUGE LOAN OF .5,000,000. A special meeting of tho County Council, called in the middle of the recess, was held on Tuesday to raise a loan of .5,000,000 the largest in one sum sinco the Council has existed.

Mr. Wallace Bruce, Chairman of the Finance Com. mittee, proposed that the rate of interest should be three per cent, and that the price of issue should bo 81 10s. per wfilOO of stock. This marks a new departure.

Hitherto, all the Council's loans have been issued by tender that is, to those who offered the highest price. This system led to the bulk of the money falling into the hands of financial syndicates, who resold to the investors at a profit. Thus the plan now adopted for the first time does away with the niiddleman aud gives the public tho full value of their investment. For many weeks," said Mr. Bruce, we have had under consideration a very large loan.

Had circumstances been propitious we should have asked the Council to raise this loan before the Easter recess. Our monoy had boon exhausted then and we had considerable payments to make. But it was an undesirable period for the issue of stock and the result has shown that we wero right in postponing the issue of the loan, for tho present time is much more favourable." The loan will be devoted to the following purposes JSV.OOO.OOO for the Hoibom-Strand and Holy well-street improvement .1,000,000 for tramways and for housing purposes 61,500,000 for loans to local authorities and .1,500,000 for various improvements and outlays. A long and extremely technical financial dismission followed and the loan was agreed to. Special care has been takeu that the small investor shall not he shut out.

Applications may be made for amounts as low 8 .10. The prospectuses of the loan were-issned on Tuesday night. THE PALACE BSEAKIKRS.

At Worship-street William Moore. 21, with no occupation, and giving an address in Brick-lane, Spital-fields, was charged with stealing from tlie person of Miss Annette Spalding a gold watch and pendant value Tho prosecutrix, a smartly-attired iady, said that her home in the United States, but just at present she was stopping in Woburn-piuce, Russell-square.

At one o'clock on Friday she was leaving a goortssiore in Slioreilitch. when tiie man snatciied her watcli, Mr. Corser asked her if it was done in the street, and Miss Spa. ding said ''Yes; right there." Then she was asked where her watch was and, putting her hand to her right hip, she said ixight liere."

The prisoner, it appeared, ran into the urea of a block known ns Gladstoue-buildmgs, where the prosecutrix followed him and requested him to give up her watch.

He denied having it, and asked her to search him but Miss Spalding said the policeman came up just about that time, and she gave the prisoner in charge.

LYCEUM THEATRE. The welcome of Miss Ellen Terry and Sir Henry Irving after their tour of triumph in the States and tho largesse of American kindness was the submerged feature of the revival of Olivia at the Lyceum last night. Everyone now-a-days knows, or ought to know, the immortal romance of Oliver Goldsmith Vicar of Wakefield "wherein the beauty of life in its honest delicacy and it3 little slips are" set forth. The unsophisticated Dr. Primrose and surely our leading actor acts nothing better is so far out of the wide, wide world of to-day that a debt of gratitude is due to Sir Henry Irving for bringing us away from the ruck and the humbug and of the modern stage man of contemporary grossness.

The moral grace of Miss Ellen Terry in representing a character with a strong shadow over its shield, such as Olivia, is one of the accomplished proofs that must make people realize how great an actress she iF. It is not easy with two such leaders of dramatic light for the minor performers to achieve their due. Br.t nobody can deny that the Mr. Burchell of Mr. James Hearn and the Farnirr Flam-borough ot Mr.

Charles Dodsworth were inferior, as performances, to some rather strained work by But the feeling of the fashionable audience was very largely a personal greeting of Miss Ellen Terrv and Sir Henry Irving. There wus not the slightest doubt whatever that the popularity of these twain, as some of the scribes have been circulating, has suffered any eclipse. On the contrary, the audience exhibited a fervour which displayed the thorough confidence that Sir Henry Irving and his company have the merited luck to arouse. At the end Sir Henry Irving was vigorously called and he said that, like Dr. Primrose, he might 'not say My dear friends and parishioners," but at least My dear friends a sentiment that made its point.

He expressed his great gratitude to tho American public for their exceeding kindness with much emotion and promised that other plays would be produced by him during his season. WARNER AT THE PRINCESS'S. The audience that welcomed Chas. AVarner at the Princess's Theatre last night was such an audience as one hardly expects to see in a theatre anywhere in the month of une. Every part of the house was full, and no doubt those who came were mostly attracted by recollections of the Adelphi triumphs of Mr.

Warner 111 the early eighties. The plays produced last night were Lord Tennyson's "Dora" and Dion Boueicault's "The Streets of Loudon," these being obviously chosen to give Mr. "Warner ree opportunity to manifest his power in pathos and low comedy respectively. It is interesting to recall that The Streets of London waG first produced some thirty-five years ago or thereabouts at this same Priucess's Theatre, when it was under the management of George Viniug, with Vining himself in the part of Badger Miss Grace Warner wns Dora in the first piece Inst night and Lucy Fairweather in the second. Both id-personations appeared to give great pleasure to tho house.

MR. COURTNEY AND THE WAR. Fifty Unionist delecatcs of the Bodmin Division met yesterday at Liskeard to consider whether Mr. Conrhiey should continue to receive their support in view of bis opinions on the South African War. Lord St.

Germans presided. BIr. Courtney wrote stating that he opposed the war, holding that it was injurious to the best interests of South Africa and our own country. In nothing had he departed from the position of a Liberal Unionist and his opinion on the South African question hnd been consistently maintained for twenty years. Ho desired as strongly to exercise bis influence as those opposed to him desired to nullify it.

Should another candi-date be chosen, that of itself would not determine him to re' reat from the constituency. The delegates resolved, by forty-two votes to six, no longer to support Mr. Courtney and invited Sir Lewis Jloksworth to meet the Executive, with a view to his becoming the candidate for tho division. It was asserted this would cause a split in the party. Mr.

Snell, Mr. Courtney's agent, tendered his resignation as secretary of the Unionist Association. On the motion of the Chairman, it wus resolved that the meeting, although feeling it a painful duty to withdraw support from Mr. Courtney, assured him of the personal esteem in which thos. present had held him and of their gratitude for the great services ho bad rendered the Unionist cause in the past." THE VOLUNTEERS" YESTERDAY.

Bul.er Headquarters, Luinsr's Nek, June 16. Now that Natal is clear of the enemy, I desire to call attention to the disgraceful way in which private property ha3 been treated in the part of the Colony occupied by them. Wilful and needless damage is visible everywhere and houses, when not completely wrecked, have been desecrated with filthy ingenuity. That this has been done with the consent of the leaders is proved by the fact that while in Charlestown every bouse was wrecked in olksrast, two nnles off, but in the Transvaal, the houses are practically intact. HOW THE DERBYSHIEES WERE CAPTURED.

The Capetown correspondent of the Daily News says that the mystery surrounding the circumstances which led to the recent severe engagement north of Kroonstad is explained by a Ca-pe Times message only just received. The first division, under Lord Methucn, had been operating north of Kroonstad and it had been reported that L'e Wet was desirous of surrendering. This was only a blind to cover his crafty Some days ago he lured Lord Methucn from the railway, and then, by strategy, captured the railway fifteen miles north of Kroonstad, blew up a bridge, and destroyed the lino for several miles. De Wet's force was strong, with six gnus. He captured two companies of City Imperials and yeomanry guarding the line.

Two men only escaped aud returned to Kroonstad. Then Mothuen left Kroonstad to attack the Boers. De Wet again eluded him and got possession of the railway aud waited on Thursday tor six compaiues of the Derbyshire Miiitiu, which had been sent on by train by Lord jletliueu. These were captured by the Boers while detraining. The Boers fired with guns and shelled the militia for some time.

The latter had no big guns aud wore no match for the Boers and were therefore compelled to surrender. There is no communication now by rail or telegraph beyond Ventersburg Road or Winburg. BADEN-POWELL'S PROMOTION. The Queen has approved of Major-General R. S.

Smith were FORMAL DECLARATION. MANIFESTO BY THE, DOCKERS' UNION. 50,000 MEN AFFECTED. ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE SHIPPING- FEDERATION. The Central News says important developments took place on Thursday in the Dockers' Strike, Posters were issued broadcast iu the evening at the docks stating that this is to call upon all port workers on the River Thames, docks, and wharves to at once cease work in support of the following claims 1.

Full recognition of the Trade Unions. 2. A general port rate of 8d. per hour day work and Is. per hour overtime.

3. The formation of a Conciliation Board." The declaration is signed by Ben Tillett, Harry Orbell, and Tom Mann as individual officials of the Union and not on behalf of the Executive, as that would necessitate the granting of full strike pay, which the present condition of tho Union funds will not permit of. Largely-attended meetings were addressed by Tom Mann and others at the various docks aud it is evident that the enthusiasm amongst the men themselves is growing. In the course of the afternoon a meeting was held at the Labour Hall, Poplar, of representatives of the dockers, the stevedores, lightermen, Thames steamship workers, carmen, and" the South Side River Protection League. A representative of the Gas Workers was also present for the purpose of reporting to his Society.

Sympathy was expressed with the docke in their demands and the representatives of the kindred trades promiBe-1 to place the position of affairs before their members with the view to a general strike. CAUSE OF THE STRIKE. The Strike, which has been looming for about a week, has had its origin in connection with the Johnstone Line, who had been iu the habit of doing their own work with Union labour. Latterly they had decided to hand it over to a contractor, who offered the Union men tho current wages. The Union officials made repi escntations to the contractor on the subject and asked that engagements should be made outside the dock.

The demand was refused, on the ground that it meant handing over the whole matter to the Union, the contractor stating that he lied sufficient permanent men at his service and could call in others by engaging them inside the dock. The dispute then came to a head. A meeting of the strikers was held at six o'clock on Tuesday morning near the Albert Docks. Other meetings took place throughout the day; the most important one being at the Custom House, where the men were addressed by Messrs. H.

Orbell, W. Harris, and T. Chambers. Between four and five hundred more men caino out at dinnor-time from the Albert Dock. They had been engaged for the most part on the boats belonging to Wiison and Leyland, the National Line, andfhe Zealand Company.

Abouttwo-thirdsof the men employed on the P. and O. boats reiused to start work in the morning, aud their places were filled by non-Unionists, a deputation from whom waited on the Union pickets outside the gates and promised on behalf of the others to join the Strike. Between ten and twelve thousand men came out at Tilbury in tho course of the day, leaving only two gangs at work, one composed of foremen and permanent men and the other of coolies. The strikers are agitating on the same lines as tho London men.

The most serious development of the Striko is its extension to the riverside workers on the south side of tho river. About 700 men employed on tho boats of the Steam Navigation Company and those of smaller shipping firms cameout. Only300 of these men belong to tiie Dockers' Union, tho remainder for the most part being members of the South Side Labour League and the Watermen's Union. They have held a meeting among themselves and formed a Committee to conduct the affairs of the Strike. These men are demanding more thau the dockers.

They ask for an advance from 7d. to 9d. per hour, night work to be paid at the rate of Is. instead of 9d. Thoy also demand that the firms engaging them shall pay the watorage to and from the ships moored in midstream, instead of making it incumbent on the men to pay their own passage money.

THE DOCKERS' DEMANDS. The dockers have formulated definite demands as a minimum before they will return to work. They aro as follows All menjto be engaged at recognised calling-ou places outside of dock gates, at recognised times, as follows SAS, 7 AS, 12.4o and p.m. Men engaged at 5.45 p.m. to be paid from the hour previous.

Spectul cU- will no allowed at four a.m. aud at twelve midnight on Sundays and holidays. Men to be paid from hour previous. Day worjc, seven a.m. till five p.m., 8d.

per hour. Xighfc work, five p.m. till seven a.m., Is. per hour. man to bo paid off with less than four hours' pay, day or night work.

MANIFESTO YESTERDAY. Mr. Ben Tillett, 425, Mile-end-road, secretary of the Dockers' Union, has addressed the following Manifesto to the Trade Unions of the United Kingdom Dear Sirs, -The liberty of combination has been threatened by the ship owners and the contractors employed by them, as well as the dock companies of London. As you are aware, the greatest organizations of capital ever known iu tins country have made a set on all the workers connected with the loading and discharging of shipping and allied industries. Tlie casual nature of the work makes the men in many cases an easy prey to the Union-smashing efforts of the syndicate, li is a combination of capitalists brutally bent on crushing every power and right of Trade Unionism on the part ot dockers and ship workers.

Wo have for twelve years been able to keep together an effective organization which has won many battle for Trado Unionism, in spite of the fact that many hundreds of millions of capital has used powers of military, police, and prison, together with starvation, the most damnable weapon they can use, although they are patriots in Africa, while all the time thoy are slave masters here. "Our demand is for the recognition of the Trade Union it right conceded in all other industries. We are also asking for a wage of 8d. per hour by day and Is. per hour by night.

When the casual character a well as the dangerous nature of the employment is understood, you will know this is a very small amount to ask for. Wo aro also asking for a Conciliation Board to be formed. The men earn on the average less than 12s. a week throughout the year, they are forced to wait night and day at the bidding of the shipping agents, aid in times of stress they are known to eat from the refuse heap thrown out by the noolios and Hindoos. They are not allowed to leave in many cases, or they stand a chance of losing any work that nmy turn tip.

No other class of labour is forced to wait huddled in groups, at the mercy and bidding of employers. No engineering or textile firm would bo permitted to keep men in a shed, to call them on for short periods of employment. All wo ask is for stated periods of call, definite markets or places of hiring of the men's own selecting, which was customary until the ship owners in the depth of winter forced starving men to accept their conditions. We are and shall continue to fight the battle of Labour and call for your assistance in our time of need, as we have, according to our means, helped other Unions. The employers are importing Dutch blacklogs into this country, some of whoso transports are now employed by the Government for South Africa.

We shall be glad to send delegates to explain the position or give any information you require, but prompt aid is the best aid possible to us, This disputo will affect 50,000 homes." ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE SHIPPING FEDERATION. Yesterday Mr. Waltor Godbold, one of the West Ham Town Councillors a master printer of Canning Town, but a member of the Dockers' Union made before the West Ham Bench an application concerning the Dock Strike. The Executive Committee of the Dockers' Union, ho said, were in a dilemma. The Shipping Federation by its agents were bringing men from all parts of England Ipswich, North Shields, Swansea, and other places; and the assertion of the Dockers' Union was that these men 'were being brought up under false pretences.

Thev were told first and foremost that there was no strike difficulty in Loudon that tliey would be comfortably lodged, well fed, and well paid aud that the scarcity of labour arose ou account of so many men being called up on the reserve. After they had been got in this way they were taken into the docks and then, some of them finding there was a strike on and beiug Trade Unionists, they objected to work. They were accommodated on bare boards, were given dry bread to eat and sometimes not sufficient of that; but apart from this there was the point of principle that the men did not want to take the place of men who were on strike. They had had their fares paid to Loudon aud now wanted to return to their homes. Tho Dockers' Union were doing their best tor the men.

but if thev were tn pay the men's fares back they might keep on doing so tuiu very soon may wouia materially lower tue Hinds ot the Union, which at the present time "Were hardly sufficient for the legitimate purposes. Tho question was, what was to be done under the At any rate it wns thought the Shipping Federation should pay the fares of these men home. If it was true they had brought these men up under false pretences that was the least they conld do. Mr. Councillor W.

Crow (the Chairman) said it was hardly in the power of tho Bench to give advice in the matter. If definite application for process were made, supported by proper evidence, the Justices would then consider the matter and deal with it. Probably tho Dockers' Union would do best to consult their legal advisers as to the form the applicationshould take. Mr. Godbold then thanked the Bench and retired.

DOCKERS COMPLAIN OF FALSE PRETENCES. A number of dock labourers complained to. Mr. Dickinson at the Thames Police Court yesterday that they had been brought from Swansea, South Wales, by-false pretences. On being engaged they asked if a strike was in progress, but were assured there was not.

What first aroused their suspicion was the way they were guarded. -On reaching Pnddiugton they were driven to the docks and put ou board a tug boat. They wero Union hands and refused to work. Mr, Dickinson It is an astonishing thing you men cannot work together and if you have any grievance, you must go to the county court. John Eagle and Samuel Carter, labourers, of Canning Town, were on Friday summoned for assaulting Israel Read, a quay foreman in the employ of the London and India Dock Joint Committee at the Albert Docks.

He was called a blackleg aud was asked why he did not take tho men ou outside the dock-gates as before. He was then severely assaulted. Tlie Bench said it was an unprovoked assault and fined each of the defendants 4Uu. or a month's imprisonment. Charge Against a Nurse Dismissed.

Teresa Kelly, described as a nurse, nged 38, was iudicted on Wednesday last at the South London Sessions for stealing a quantity of dresses and, other articles, value 14, the property of George Frauoii Honey. Mr. W. M. Thompson, for the defence, argued that the articles in question were given, by Mrs.

Honey to the accused to pawn, the said Mrs. Honey receiving the proceeds of the pledges. In the end the accused was acquitted.
