[From our own Corrospondont.j Stkatfoud, November 22. A strike for an iucrease of pay oacurred to-day among the men employed on the Toko railway works. Tho men have some exi use for tlwir action, aB, since the new system of two shifts a day started, their hours of work hive been somewhat inconvenient. At the' time of writing, I understand that some of the mon have agreed to resume work at the original rate. I hope the matter will bs amicably arranged as a hitch for even a lew days would c.iuse graat inconvenience.
