LABOUR UNREST.
STRIKE A 1 CAPE TOWN. TRAFFIC DISLOCATED. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright CAPE TOWN, Monday. A tram and bus strike dislocated traffic in Cape Town during Easter. The train company recently absorbed an opposition bus run to Scapoint and appointed Mr Hughes, owner of the opposition concern, manager of the Seapoint section. The men refused to join the tram union, and struck at midnight. The police guarded the garages, but the strikers succeeded in getting through a skylight at the headquarters depot and removed all the ' essential parts as well as deflating all the tyres. It was raining to-day, and the full effect of the strike will not be felt until the resumption of business to-mor-row.
