THE TRAMWAY STRIKE ENDED.
Melbourne, February 17. The strike of the tramway employes has ended by the Union men giving way. Many of those, however, who went out have lost their positions, as a large number of the vacancies had been already filled.
A DECENTRALISATION LEAGUE.

This, however, has been negatived, and a Decentralisation League has been instituted instead, to protect the interests of the Northern districts as against Sydney.
