ONE STRIKE TO ANOTHER
BRITISH DOCKERS' THREAT
IF TYAGES ARE NOT RAISED,
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) {A'iSTRAUAN-NEW #ALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION'.) LONDON, 29th January.. The unions involved in the dockers' troubles are the Transport Workers, which has a membership of 300,000, the National Union of General "Workers (443,000); the National Amalgamated Union of Labourers (170,000); the United Order of General Labourers (150,000), and the Amalgamated Society of Enginemen. (40,000f. . The last named, established in 1923, claims to include the "key" men, who are asking-for an increase of half-a-crown compared with the older union's claim for 2s, which would raise the wage to 12s daily. This union was not represented at the present conference, and is not bound by Bevan's judgment. The other unions include transporters such as omnibus men, so not all are necessarily involved.
