INDUSTRIAL UNREST.

ARGENTINE RAILWAYS

(Received 22, 9.45 a.m.) Buenos Ayres, January 21. The Railway Companies have refused to dismiss the new hands on the railway. The men insist on the reengagement of all strikers. The Government has decided not to mediate, any longer and is determined to ensure the working of the railways. Two thousand passengers who were angered at the delay wrecked a station.

PERTH STRIKES

(Received 22, 10.0 a.m.) Perth, January 22

The engineers and aerated water employees’ strikes are still not settled. The barmen are boycotting hotels, where the united water factories do not concede tlie men’s demands.

Owing to the proprietary of the “Daily News” not adopting the new agreement between the Newspaper Proprietors and the Australian Journalists’ Association, the literary staff obeyed the Association’s call into conference. The paper was published without their aid. It mainly consisted of a statement of the proprietor’s case, the compositors declining to set non-union copy. The tramway employees declined to handle the bundles of papers and some vendors refused to sell.
