GENERAL SATISFACTION

{Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)

London, April 4. There is general satisfaction that a national strike has been averted by the railwaymen's acceptance of the terms. Thus the triple alliance is officially content with the concessions, even if sections of the men are dissatified at not having received the full demands. A great deal of unrest remains, which" the leaders are striving to eradicate. Mr Thomas pointed out that they had secured more than the , miners' representatives, having negotiated day and night. If the men voted in favour of a strike they would be enemies to themselves and their fellow-members.

The electricians' ballot lacks the requisite strike majority for a 44-hour week.
