Show Cooniryless Man Raises a Roction in Anzac Harbor SYDNEY, N. S. W., Tuesday, June 3. (Via Montreal.) The United States has twice refused to permit Paul Freeman, an American deported from Australia, to enter America. Wlien the steamer Sqrioma, from San Francisco May 6, returned to Australia with Freeman for the second time, he decided on a hunger strike. This lasted a week, when his condition became so serious a public outcry was raised, with the result that the lumpers refused, to work and the crew threatened to leave the ship. An attempt was made last night to rush the ship. The position was becoming serious when word was received that Acting Prime Minister Watt had decided to allow Freeman to disembark so that his case might be inquired into. Freeman denies that he belonged to the I. W. W. and that his parents are German. |
