INDUSTRIAL UNREST.
London, July 13. The Sunderland dockers again struck, and secured a farthing an hour advance upon the terms agreed to last week, making a total of threefarthings an hour. The dockers’ strike at Leith has been settled. Assaults on Chinamen at Cardiff are frequent. Paris, July 13. Of sixty thousand so-called masons who are striking, forty thousand are navvies. The movement was engineered by the Labour Confederation with a view to securing the reinstatement of railway men, the release of others from imprisonment, anti-mili-tarism amendments, .workmen’s pension law, and other demands. The strikers are defiant. Many attacks have been made on the police and blacklegs. A number of strikers roughly handled a bricklayer, who fatally stabbed one of his assailants.
