TRADE AND LABOUR.
THE POLICE AND'POSTMEN.
(Peb ElectrioJTelegraph—Copyright.) (Per Press Association.) (Received 13.15 p.m., Jnly Bfch.) London, July 7. Hitherto the police’strike has only been averted by the device of the elder men of the force. The Government is pressing on the Police Pensions Bill in the House of Commons. The public are indignant at the intimidation employed by the men, and plenty of special constables are ready to volunteer. Over thirty constables who were suspended have been dismissed for refusing or hesitating to proceed on duty when ordered. There ia considerable excitement, and many messages of sympathy have been received from other divisions. The Star states that 3000 men are pledged to strike to-night. The quarrel with the postmen has reached an acute stage, and an important decision will be arrived at to-night.
