Adelaide, August 5.
A serious labour difficulty has arisen at Fort Adelaide. The lumpen en-
gaged on the international steamers have struck against the attempt to alter the rate of wages paid. For two hours' work on Saturday the men hitherto received 3s which is as much as for 2£ hours on ordinary days. Owners seek to make Saturday a quarter day of 2i hours. The strike only affects Saturday work, and is not likely to affect week days, but meanwhile the refusal to work the steamers on Saturday is causing serious delay.
