Reuter reports from Sydney, July 17th, that Dockers refused today to load rifles which they believed were bound for South Africa on to the Dutch cargo ship Straat Cumberland, and a lorry carrying 106 cases of rifles weighing 14 tons was left standing on the wharf, The manifest of the Straat Cumberland showed the rifles as consigned to Tanganyika, An official of the Sydney branch of the Waterside Workors' Federation said on July 17th that the dockers had been misled in the past. "They will want unchallengeable proof that the rifles were not going to South Africa before they load them," he said.
