Melbourne, Oct. 14.

The dock strike eltuation is giving rise to considerable un- easiness, rowdy Trade Union mectinga held to-day showing that the extremist element is more or less in control,

There was a great uproar and demonstration at Yarrabank when the saner leaders of the Austra lian Trades Union Congrèss were endeavouring to reason, with the men, the speakers being shouted down.

Mr. Crofta; the secretary of the T.U.C. told the strikera plainly that it was hopeless for them to expect victory. He was howled down by a large section of the crowd, who described the T.U.C. as "a lot of cowards,"

More serious, however, is a further outbreak of violence. Following, the recent bomb out rages, a Toward of £500 was

offered for the detection of the bomb-throwers, but in spite of this, a further bomb was thrown last night, partially wrecking the house of a stevedore foreman at West Brunswick.

Fortunately no-one was injured, In the danger areas, police pro tection has been doubled, while the Government has been official-

This temporary settlement will enable the merchants to deal with the forthcoming exportation of oranges without loss of face, but it is very doubtful whether they will consider the affair has in any way been satisfactorily dealt with.

Not Ended Yet.

It is to be hoped that the firm line taken by the merchants, and the publicity given to the affair, will have the effect of controlling, for the time being at any rate, the corrupt administration of the sur- tax, which was one of the chief causes of the strike. As matters stand at present, however, it is inevitable that, sooner or later, | probably sooner, the whole pro-1 blem will recur.

The difculty has not been settled, but morely shelved, and one cannot help feeling that the troubles of the merchants in this) connexion are by no means over yel.--Our Own Correspondent.
