MARITIME STRIKE.
LATEST* FAJITICI'LARS. (Received 16, 9;43 a.in.) London, June 15. The strikers’ demands have been paid on the steamer Olympic, but the owners are laying up the steamer Majestic. ' The Liverpool shipowners have consented to negotiate with the men’s representatives. The Shipping Federation lias stationed the liner Spiicro in the .Hurl roads as a depot for the supply of men required. It is expected it will lie some days before the strike preaches the maximum, as the men have boon ordered to fulfil outstanding engagements. Shipowners state that they,-antici-pate merely slight inconvenience for a few days, as they are convinced respectable seafarers will keep aloof from the movement, because it is largely supported by loafers and , others rarely going to sea. There is no particular enthusiasm in London, where Chinese crews are signing on under police protection.
