SEAMEN'S STRIKE
• CONFLICT OF EXTREMES. (Bt Cable.— Pi en* Association.—Copyright.) (Australian a:ul N./C. Cublo Association.) MELBOURNE, Juno 9. Justico Biggins, reviewing the seamen's strike, said ho had diagnosed tho position that a few nctivo, intelligent raon had got control of the machinery of the unions, whoso minds were saturated with writings from outside countries. These men hold a fixed theory that nothing substantial could ho gained without recourse to tho oxtrome. There was a touch of irony in tho counsels of desporation imported from abroad to Australia which war struggling towards a better system ol securing justice nil round. As a result, chiofly, of tho teachings of thAse oversea theorists, tho two oxtreme parties in the industrial world, those who would push the claims of the workers regardless of the ruin inflicted on the community. and those who had bitterly opposed all measures for tho relief of the worker, had now become allies.
