Sydney Tram Strike.
Sydney, July 26. The strike situation has become grave and there are now indications of a great industrial upheaval. At the Trades Hall last night the atmosphere was elcetricai. The council discussed the situation but great secrecy was maintained. It is stated that a resolution was passed calling upon all unions to strike at noon tomorrow, unless the tramway trouble is ended. The Wharf Labourers' Union, it is believed, is ready to strike at an hours' notice. The police are being largely reinforced from the country districts. The weakness in the men's position at present lies in the fact that the power house men have not struck. The engineers are members of the in stitute, and this body has not taken action in connection with strikes.
