IN THE BALANCE
DOCKERS’ THREATENED STRIKE. ELEVENTH HOUR NEGOTIATIONS. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON. February 15. (Received February 16, 1.0 a.m.) In connection with the attempts being made to avert the dockers’ strike, which is set down to start on Monday next, the Daily Herald says: “Part of the labour employers found it necessary yesterday to spend the morning and afternoon in separate consultation, while the workers representatives waited in another room. It is understood a vigorous controversy occurred between the London and country employers. The latter realise the strength of the men’s case and recognise that disagreement will cost more than concession. “It is understood that ultimately the London employers carried a proposition to give a shilling per day plus arbitration regarding the other shilling. “The men’s representatives did not accept the offer and an adjournment until Friday afternoon was agreed on to enable the workers to call a full meeting of the Executive.”
