STRIKE SETTLED
Sydney Gas Workers (Received November -I, 11.55 p.m. I SYDNEY, November 4. A settlement has been reached in a labour dispute which left 250,000 Sydney consumers without gas today. Normal supplies are expected to be available tomorrow. Consumers affected included 600 munition plants, and 100 hospitals. Three hundred workers struck following a claim by 12 oilers and greasers for an additional 6/!) a week which had been refused bv the conciliation commissioner. The terms of settlement of the dispute have not been announced. Hundreds of thousands of Sydney’s residents today had only cold meals. The Sydney “Sun,” commenting on the strike, says: “An example of the indecency and foolishness of wartime strikes, it also sets a wholesome precedent in its brevity.”
