DOCKERS’ STRIKE.
iUSTItALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION MORE DOCKERS FAVOURABLE LONDON, Feb. 2-1. In addition to the dockers at Hull, Newcastle and Bristol, a meeting of over fix thousand at Liverpool, with only three dissentients, agreed to accept the employers’ offer. A mass meeting at Glasgow overwhelmingly favoured acceptance while meetings of the stevedores unions in Poplar and Caiiniiigtovn resolved to continue the strike pending a settlement of their demand for an increase of half-a-erown per day and twenty-live per cent, on piece work. STRIKE ENDING. LONDON, February 25. The voting at the mass meetings of the dockers at all the ports shows that tho resumed Conference of these delegates to-day at the Ministry of Labour is certain to settle the strike. The Northern meetings have been unexpectedly eiithusiasiic in favour of the toms, the speakers claiming that they represented 95 per cent of the Unions' claims.
The only douhttul point is the altitude of tlie stevedores, who say that they will not return until their claims are satisfied.
The situation is complicated by the tact that the dockers now describe the stevedores as “blacklegs.”
