LABOUR UNREST.

THE RECENT TROUBLES IN THE DOMINIONS. " THE TIMES " ON THE SITUATION. "Times."—Sydney "Sun" Special Cables. (Received February 18, 5.35 p.m.) LONDON, February 18.

"The Times" in a leading article on the labour troubles in the dominions, says:—"How are the moderates to assume that they are going to escape the dilemma created" by the comparative failure of legislative regulation on the one hand, and by the obvious social danger .of syndicalism on the other?

" We have come to expect Australia and New Zealand to be the pioneers in devising an expedient for such difficulties.'* Whatever the plan may be, the leaders of capital and labour in the dominions may as well make up their minds. Collusive bargains which pass on to the consumers the cost of the concessions granted, are no real solution."
