[Per Press Association'. — Copyright] (Received tiapt. 13, 1.30 a.m ) London, Sept. 12. The New Zealand Shipping Company deny they have any intention of suing the Dock Companies for loss occasioned by the detention of the Ruapehu. The strikers have 1,12,000 in the bank. It was the Strike Committee who empowered Cardinal Manning to negotiate with the employers. They appear to be convinced it is desirable to accept the compromise if the companies will begin the increased pay in November, instead of January. The Standard says that the Australian artisans will find that while nominally helping the dock laborers, they have really been playing into the hands of Socialist agitators. It is reported the strikers have cabled to Australian Uuions asking them to refuse to discharge vessels loaded by nonstrikers. Burns is ill from the effects of overwork.
