| Summary: | Mr. A. Ballin, the President of the german shipowners union has declared on occasion of an interview granted to a representative of the London press that he holds it for a certainty that it comes to a hard struggle between the english and german ocean-liners. Ballin demands that neither Cunard nor White Star line shall touch Southhampton. Britishers now you have it. Mr. Ballin dares to bar two english lines from calling at a british port, and you are helping this most venemous and scrupleles enemy of british shipping and trade. What do you call this? Treachery? Now to the brazenfaced lies. There is a notice running through the english press, inspired as it seemes by german shipowner's, that you are getting 10 sh a day, and are dining as first-rate passengers. Comrades we know it to be lies, we know that the mean german shipowners will turn a penny twice before spending him. We therefore ask, nay we implore you to leave Hamburg at once, because every day of your stay in Hamburg is a day of disgrace to England. The executive of the riverside-workers of London. J. Hunter John Hunter The cooparative printing office London.
