STRIKES.
SYDNEY, Sunday. There is practically no change in tho ■ coal lumpers' dirticultv. Both sides maintain a confident attitude. A few more men have signed the new agreement, wliich, amongst other things, provides for seven days' written notice of termination by either side. There is by no means any rush to fill the place of the strikers, and many of those who signed on the previous day failed to turn up, and conr-equently the coaling of tho China steamer Tsinan could not be commenced. Additional arrivals early in the coming week will intensify the situation. The Secretary of the steamer and Colliers' Association states that if it should become necessary labour could be obtained from other States.
