(Received this day at 11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, October 10.
The fcUmongering employers have stated that they conceded nothing to the strikers, who agree to return uneon-.liti'iually on the same ter Ins operating as before .the strike. It is estimated that the employees lost £20,1)0.) in wages 'as a result of the strike.
A general strike in the meat trade in Victoria appears to be inevitable. Meat exporters refused to grant a fur--I,her conference to repreSefita-ives of the meat employees and the council of the union decided to extend the dispute to the local retail meat trade.
It is feared that this action might result in metropolitan meat supplies having to be curtailed. The Federal council of the union, decided to withdraw all slaughtermen and labourers working in abattoirs, boiling down works, and casing establishments. This will add about five hundred men to the number. Moutworkers are already on strike.
