RESUME WORK.
BY CABLB— PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT SYDNEY, Dec. 19. The strike is over. Following on the receipt of a cable from New Zealand notifying that the strike is officially declared off there, the conference of unionists adopted a resolution asking all delegates to, inform the various unions and their branches that the strike is declared off by the Tsew Zealand Federation of Labor, and that the embargo on New Zealand trade on the part of Australian unionists is consequently withdrawn. The termination of the protracted struggle has given much satisfaction, which is shared by the bulk of the unionists.
The Union Steam Ship Company advertises that the company's boats will resume their normal running". The Maunganui will sail at three o'clock to-morrow, and the Maheno on Wednesday.
The unionists' conference has issued a further appeal for funds to relieve the distress caused by the strike.
Trouble over the unionists resuming work on the wharves is not anticipated.
