LABOR IN AUSTRALIA.

THE MIXERS' STRIKE. STRIKE PAY. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, April 18. An aggregate meeting of South Coast miners, at Woollongong yesterday, passed a resolution as follows:—In view of the apparently slight differences between employers and employees regarding the proposals made by Mr. Carmichael. we request Mr. Carmichael to call a meeting of the two parties, with either himself or the Industrial Registrar as chairman, to adjust differences with a view to. the resumption of work. The result of the meeting came as a shock to the townspeople of Wool oilgoi)g, who believed that work would be resumed on Monday. Tt is considered that a long struggle is now ahead of the men, as it is practically certain the proprietors will not grant further concessions beyond those already promised. So far no strike pay luis been distributed, and cases of distress have already cropped up. STRIKF. PAY ISSUED. Sydney, April 18. Strike pay lias been issued at Broken Hill, l.js to single men and £1 to married unionists, with 2s Od for each child.
