THE STRIKERS' CALLOUS INDIFFERENCE.
(Received May 9th, 10-54 a.m.) - MELBOURNE, May 9. The "Age" this morning says:—'The sudden resolve of the engine-drivera' executive to strike comes like a bolt from the blue. It seems to have been no part of the men's original campaign, and it not a strike for better pay, fairer treatment, or better conditions." "The Premier distinctly promised he would see all the real grievances of the railway men redressed. Therefore, there can be no parade of grievances to justify the strike, and the contest of< the men to exalt themselves in authority above Parliament and the Government of the country. We venture to say no body of men in any State exhibited more selfish and callous indifference to the interests of their fellowcitizens."
