STRIKES IN BERLIN.
lElec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Asstu (Australian and N.Z Cable Association.! LONDON, Feb. 5. Tho Daily Chronicle’s Berlin correspondent states that to a paralysing strike has been added another crippling strike. During the night the municipal workers carried out their threat. The city to-day, with streets deep in snow, is -without trams, water gas or electricity. The latest strike caught the people unprepared, because a settlement was believed to be imminent. On Saturday night, crowds leaving the theatres trooped into the snow and were amazed to find the city without trams. The municipal strikers resolved not to perform emergency work except to keep underground railways and puipping stations going. The railway strike is unabalted, and a few trams are running, manned by a strike-breaking corps. The Government thus far refuses to negotiate with the strikers, arid business is at a standstill. Supplies of household coal are exhausted and large works are dosing down.
