STRIKE ISSUES.
SETTLEMENT NEARLY REACHED
IN QUEENSLAND DISPUTE
BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHT. BRISBANE, Sep. 2. The compulsory conference settled the strike issue- about stop-work meetings, the Government agreeing to meetings being held during working hours upon reasonable notice being given to the officer in charge. The outstanding point of the negotiations now is the basic rate for clerks reaching the age of 21. .Should .an agreement he reached on this the strike will practically have ended. The Government offered £2lO a year and, the unions claim £221. The Strike Council is firm on this point, and its reply to the Government’s offer is now being considered by Cabinet. In the Assembly the Premier (Mr W. Gillies) secured an adjournment until Tuesday because of the resumption of the compulsory conference, urging members, in view of the delicacy of the situation, not to discuss the strike. The newspapers at Rockhampton have been declared “black” by the strikers through their attempts to get papers to Mount Morgan.
