WORK AND WAGES.
[SPECIAL TO PrKSS ASSOCIATION.]
LONDON, Jan. IS,
The free sailors shipping on board the Aorangi and Merkara have been brutally assaulted by pickets. Violence on the part of the railway strikers is increasing. Tampering with points, attacks on free labourers and attempts to wreck trains are frequent. The English Railway Companies urge the northern Companies to resist, fearing that surrender on their park will entail a strike on the English lines. The authorities of Glasgow are likely to proceed against John Burns for advising the strikers to put a little more devil into the fight.
SYDNEY, Jan. IG.
The Secretary of the Shearers' Union has requested a conference with the Pastoralista' Union, believing that the whole difficulty can be easily and amicably settled.
