THE STRIKER.
London, Feb. 26
The situation of the South Wales coal strike is increasing in gravity. The South Wales Miners’ Federation, which agrees to the demand for raising the m iuimum wage,agreed to call a national conference to decide to form federations to support it, it the Welsh owners’ refusal continues. New York, Feb. 26. A strike occurred in Bethlehem steel works, Pennslyvania, and 9000 men are affected. The works were closed until the police were able to protect the loyal workers. Sydney, P’eb. 27. At the Wharf Labourers’ Union banquet, the secretary said they would soon be fighting the employers before the Wages Board. No doubt the latter would try to take away some ol the little concessions they had granted, but he thought men would be able to show the Board that they were deserving of a little more consideration in the way of pay. The President congratulated the Union on the stand taken in the late trouble. As aforesaid, their position among the trades unions was as good to-day as that of any other organisation in the country. He advocated the Wages Board in preference to the Arbitration Court.
