COMMONWEALTH CABLES.

$ UNIONISTS OUT OF WORK. — — \ (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN PRESS ASSOCIATION.) MELBOURNE, May G. A Trades Hall Council return shows that 15,000 unionists are without work. The largest section is carpenters and builders’ labourers, with 2500. The total is the biggest the city lias known for many years. MOTOR BUS OVERTURNED. f MELBOURNE, May 6. A loaded motor-bus collided with a market gardener’s motor-lorry at a street intersection near Parliament House to-day. The bus was overturned and three men and sixteen women were injured, most of them not seriously. The bus had the roof wrenched off and the plateglass windows smashed. The occupants were spilled into the roadway, and the wonder is that the casualties were not more serious. MISSING WOMAN’S BODY FOUND. Received 10.50 a.m. to-day. SYDNEY, May 7. Mrs. Gilbert’s dead body was discovered in a sitting position in the Blue Mountains near Katoomba. She was in ill-health and wandered from her home on Easter Monday. A long search had been made by men ever since, her husband offering £SO reward. Her death had apparently been peacetul. The body was found at the bottom of a cliff, with the shoes and stockings removed. It is believed she wandered down a steep pass to a rocky ledge, where she sat down and died.
