TRADE DISPUTES.
EIGHTY THOUSAND WORKERS TO STRIKE. (Received Wednesday, 7.15 p.m.) LONDON, May 23. There has been no settlement of the wages dispute in the dyeing and allied trades. Representatives of the employers and trades unions met at Manchester. Negotiations breaking down, the unions decided to call a strike of operatives on June 16. Over eighty thousand hands are involved.—.(Australian Press Association.—United Service.)
COTTON INDUSTRY. NO LOCK-OUT TO ENFORCE WAGE REDUCTION. (Received Wednesday, 8 p.m.) LONDON, May 23. . A ballot of members of the Federation of the Master Cotton Spinners’ Association on the question of enforcing a reduction of wages of 124 per cent, by a lock-out if necessary, failed to give the requisite majority of eighty per cent. The federation decided to take no further action. There is the keenest satisfaction among half a million operatives in Lancashire.—(Austraiian Press Association.)
