MISCELLANEOUS CABLES.
Nearly all the members of the State Department of Commerce at Moscow have been arrested on charges of embezzlement. Eight thousand passengers are held up in Marseilles, and 1200 qt Port Vendres, owing to the French sailors’ strike. A further hearing has commenced in the High Court in Sydney of the case in which the Jofin Cooke Proprietary, Melbourne, and T. A. Field, Sydney, acting for the fell mongers, are claiming from the Central Wool Committee a division of the profits on overseas sales of skins and wool during the war. The case involves about £3,500,000. In consequence of the management of the Newcastle steel works reintroducing the 4A-hour week, a meeting of the Amalgamated Engineers’ Union decided not to work the additional hours. If this decision is given effect to the management has decided that it will close the works on Tuesday.
