NATIONAL STRIKE POSTPONED.

INDEPENDENT ARBITRATION

WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE

WORKERS

«y cable—psess association—copyright. LONDON, June 7. The transporters are withholding a national strike until Tuesday. The transport workers' leaders have resolved on no consideration to accept independent arbitration. If an ontside chairman is accepted he must have no casting vote. The Trades' Union leaders point out that the proposed guarantee is not the same thing as a liability on the Trades Union's general funds.

The employers desire to know if the Government scheme contemplates penalising the federation for the acts of a section, and asks whether a sympathetic strike declared in London to help another port would be a contravention of the agreement.
