EXTENSION OF THE TROUBLES.
COLD STORES AND WHARVES. MEN AGAINST NEGOTIATION. (United Presp Association—Copyright). (Received This Day, 9.55 a.m.) LONDON, February 4. The Smithfield strike committee claims that the men employed in the cold stores and on the wharves have declared themselves unwilling to handle meat for Smithfield. The decision does not affect butter and other perishable goods. The men contend that there is no use pursuing the talks which have proceeded fruitlessly for eight months. They say: “Most of the employers are sympathetic with us. We will not be intimidated by the others.” The effects of the strike have been felt at Southampton, where it has been decided to leave 1400 tons of Argentine chilled meat aboard the Alcantara, which arrived yesterday.
