YALLOURN STRIKERS.
DEMANDS MODIFIED. (Received Friday, 10.50 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. The Yallourifstrikers have agreed to modify their demands, but still refuse to accept the Arbitration. Court award. They have now agreed to resume work on conditions which were formerly in operation in the old cut, providing for a forty-live hour week demand. This is also to apply to the men work-ing-in the new cut, where the working week has always been forty-eight hours. Officers of the Eiectricty Commission state that it is impossible for the Commission to adopt any compromise. The output of tho Yallourn power house has been reduced, and the amount of current being produced at metropolitan generating stations has been increased to make up full supplies.
