In all English cities the total reaches 119,000. The direct cause is because the ship owners declared a Jockout against transport workers, but low wages and Jong hours, with want and starvation for thousands, is what has brought on the crisis. & KKK KKK LIVERPOOL, Aug. 15.—Buliets and bayonets were used the troops here early today in dispers- ing a mob of riotous strikers. The situation is hourly growing more serious. The Liverpool strikers declare that 50,000 freight handlers, porters and teamsters will strike tonight unless the ship owners raise the lockout declared against the trans- port workers. Numerous railway employes throughout Scotland also threaten to quit before the end of the week. A REIGN OF TERROR. The whole of the lower section of the city today terrorized by fighting betwi strikers and troops, which was almost continu. ous. After bayonet charges failed, the troops were forced to fire on different occasions. Several strik- ers were wounded. They cleared the streets temporarily, however. During the charge of the troops it was discovered that the offices of the Ship Owners’ association had been set on fire. The flames were soon beaten out when the soldiers drove the mob from the vicinity. Six soldiers and two policemen, have so far been seriously wounded in the constant affrays. r KEKE RARE * Julia and Jack Jingle. ow RRR TERRA eo seeeeeeeeee es a The scion of a wealthy house, A multi-millionaire, Strode sadly on the Newport sands And wildly tore his hatr. “What good is it,” he quoth, “To be as rich as we? madly ness, A lying wretch is he.
