• The end of the Dublin strike is now in
eight. On Monday about seven hundred dockers and other labourers resumed work for three of the principal shipping companies and for the Dublin Port and Locke Board, having given an under- taking to handle goods of all kinds. On the same day the Dublin Tramways Works reopened at Inchicore and other depots, where with few exceptions all of the company's staffs are again at work. The strikers are also going back in other trades. The return of the dockers is the more remarkable as they are all members of the Irish Transport Workers' Union. Mr. Larkin explains their action by saying that the Union advised the men of two or three steamship companies to return to their work "owing to the blacklegging that was going on," but declares that the general situation is unchanged.
