STRIKES AND THE WAR.

Suppose an improvement q£ working conditions could be obtained a* the result of a strike at the present time, would it be worth such a price? The industry having gone on so longin peace times without the new rules now demanded, surely it could be continued till tlie war is over, if the alternative is to weaken, even in the smallest degree, the arm that is striking for the country's existence. There will be plenty of time after the war to deal with such questions as cannot be amicably settled now, and, until victory has been assured, no settlement of anything is of much value.— Sydney Telegraph.
