Serried masses of laborers thronged about the wharf and clustered close to the steamer’s side bidding farewells to their countrymen who were on the way to take part as witnesses for the defence in the trial of the strikers at Victoria. Fifty-three witnesses for the de- fence were supplied with first-class passes to Victoria by the George, and by George they intended to have a first class time of it. Prominent Figures Prominent amongst the men on the wharf were A. O. Morse, secretary of the P. R. I. A., and W. H. Montgomery of the Long- shoremen’s Union.
