COLLAPSING.

IRISH STRIKERS DEPRESSED. MEN RETURNING TO WORK. LONDON, September 26. The Irish railway strikers are depressed, and many of the men are resuming work, whilst others are applying for reinstatement. A QUICK SETTLEMENT. MELBOURNE, September 26.

The Sunshine . Harvester Company, whose works are at Braybrook, to-day put off ISO men, owing to the lack of material, caused by the moulders' strike. The company stated that failing a settlement to-day a further 500 hands will be discharged. The strike then collapsed. The company agreed to remove a non-unionist complained of to a different department. MINERS' HEWING RATE. (Received 0.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. Trouble is threatened in the South Coast collieries. Under the Wages Board award after the last strike, for the past six months the selling price of coal has been 8/S, instead of 9/2, per ton. This involves a proportional reduction of the hewing rate, to which the miners are strongly averse. A special meeting of the Delegate Board has been called, and there is reason to believe that the Board will vote against the reduction. DEPTFORB DOCKERS OUT. AWARD NOT COMPLIED WITH. (Received 9.15 a.m.)

LONDON, September 26. The trouble at Deptford is alleged to have been due to the dock owners not complying with the recent award. Dockers elsewhere are disinclined to handle goods from the affected area.
