It is with great satisfaction that we record the close
of the dock strike. We need not discuss in detail how the Strike Committee first advised the close of the strike last Saturday, then on Sunday at a mass meeting, and under the influence of 30,000 alleged strikers, gave a sudden twist of the helm and tried for a time to reverse their course, how they wobbled back on Monday to the position of Saturday, and how on Tuesday there was a very general return to work, though that return was on Wednesday marred by some rather serious rioting. However, all's well that ends well, and the reports of the con- dition at the docks in Friday's papers show that the lighter- men and stevedores are now busily at work, and that there is every prospect that before very long the docks will return to their normal state.
