'Royal' Cargo Ires Aussie Dockmen
Melbourne, Australia —(U.P.)
Striking dockworkers refused today to unload Queen Elizabeth's ship,
which the economy-minded British government loaded with 6,000 tons of cargo before it left England.
The dockers' strike stopped work in 43 ships in port here, including the Royal liner Gothic whose holds were filled with automobiles, fire pumps, and general cargo after it was discovered the Royal luggage did not fill the ship.
The Gothic is scheduled after the unloading to pick up more cargo to make the return journey to Britain "economical."
