FIRE BRIGADE STRIKE.
RISKY NfGHT IN BRISBANE.
MEN NOW BACK AT WORK
(Received March 8, 0.5 p.m.)
A. and N.Z. BRISBANE, March 9. All the members of the Brisbane Fire Brigade struck to-day as a protest against the action of the chief officer in suspending a number of men for refusing duty. All the fire stations throughout last night were manned by "skeleton' staffs, but luckily there was no outbreak of fire, as the number of men available was quite inadequate. To-day the men returned to work, the Arbitration Court having decided to intervene and hear the dispute.
