THE CANBERRA STRIKE.
SYDNEY. April 28. (Received April 28, at 12.20 p.m.) A deputation asked George Fuller to intervene in the Canberra strike. (Sir George Puller promised to consult .Mr Hughes on the latter’s arrival in .Sydney shortly. Ho said ho cmiid not believe that Mr Poster (Federal .Minister el Works) was susceptible to Melbourne influences, though the hitler were determined to prevent, if possible, the ostab- > ifahment of the Federal capital in its own homo. Whilst ho was unable to decide on the merits of the Federal dispute, is was his duty to endeavor to prevent unemployment in the State. A message from Qncanbeyan states that Mr. Foster compromised, and suggested that the men should return to work at the old rates of pay, but with new hours. The men refused this, offer. The position otherwise is unchanged.
