(Rec. 11.35 a.m.) SYDNEY, April 29. Though- delegates of the Australasian Council of Trade Unions and the Amalgamated Engineering Union are meeting in Sydney in an attempt to settle the transport crisis in Victoria, chances of agreement being reached are not bright. Union officials say that their men will not be content with less than £1 a week increase in wages, and that deregistration of the union will not help solve the problem. •• To-d ay is the sixteenth day of the Melbourne transport crisis. There are no suburban trains or Government buses. The tram services have been reduced and the country rail services have been heavily cut. Unemployment is increasing, and queues are forming at shops m outer Melbourne suburbs usually served by electric trains.
