LABOUR QUESTIONS.
Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyrisht Adelaide, August 5. A serious labour difficulty has arisen at Port Adelaide. The lumpers engaged for Intercolonial steamers have struck against an attempt to alter the rate of wages paid for two hours' work on Saturday. Hitherto they have received 3s, which is as much as for two aud a.half hours on ordinary days. The owners seek to make Saturday a quarter day of two and a-half hours. The strike only affects Saturday work, and is not likely to affect week-days; but meanwhile the refusal to work steamers on Saturday is causing serious delay.
