BRITISH AND FOREIGN STRIKES.

An immense parade and mass meeting was held on Sunday in the East; the amount collected for the Australian strikers was about £30. SOUTHAMPTON DOCK STRIKES.

Subcontractors will not be allowed. Boys have also demanded an advance in wages. THREATENED LOCKOUT IN SCOTLAND.
