LABOUR TROUBLES.

AT HOME. Press Association.—Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, September 9. Thevi have been many further dismissals on the Clyde, chiefly wood-workers. There is much anxiety amongst hfikrmakers regarding the men who are idle Tho payment of benefit pay in one branch will begin to-day. It is believed the ballot at ..Hartlepool is strongly against guarantees being given to employers. Some lodges demand that the ex'entire shall not negotiate until the lockout is withdrawn. The Birkenhead, ballot went solid for resumption.

ANGRY MINERS,

Received September 10, 9 a.m. LONDON, September 9. At Cardiff thousands of men hooted the announcement of the postponement of the strike, and rushed to the institute, whore the officials were meeting. They broke furniture and endeavoured to assault tho Labour leaders.

THE BOILERMAKERS’ DISPUTE

Received September 10, 9 a.m. LONDON, September 9. The boilermakers’ executive is anxiously awaiting tho result of the ballot, in the hope that a large majority will endorse the principle of keeping faitli with tho employers, as the only means of safeguarding collective bargaining. Nevertheless, they have arranged that in the event of inadequate support they will call a representative meeting.

SOUTH WALES MINERS

Strike Deferred. LONDON, September 0. In connection with the South Wales mining trouble, 35 pits, employing 35,000 men, have given notice that they will cease working at the end of the month. The crisis is being caused less by ti o conflict of workers and employers than a revolt by a large proportion of colliers against the non-Sorialist policy hitherto pursued by the South Wales .Miners’ I'ederatiou. The results of the eight hours’ system has enabled Socialist agitators to discredit the Federation. Received September 10, 8.15 a.m. LONDON, September 9. Tho member for Rhondda Valley, persuaded twelve thousand of the Cambrian Combine colliers to defer a strike for a week on condition that a conference of the whole coalfield is convened. Supporting Mr. Mahon, Mr. Hartshorn said there was a danger of precipitation nipping in the bud a movement full of hope, and the fight would jeopardise tho position. If twelve thousand struck before reorganisation was completed, they would be unable to put up a fight which would teach tho employers a lesson.
