MARITIME STRIKE.

AN EFFECTIVE LEVER. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. United Press Association. London, Juno 28. Tho Carters’ Union and the Dock Labourers’ Union, of Liverpool, have decided not to handle goods belonging to firms involved in the strikes. As a result, a number of shipowners conceded the men’s demands. WORK AT A STANDSTILL. Amsterdam, June 28. Work is at a standstill on twenty out of thirty-five steamers. (Received 29, 9.50 a.m.) London, June 28. Four thousand National dock labourers at Liverpool have struck to secure the recognition of the Union and as a protest against the employment of non-unionists. All the crews in port thereupon abandoned their vessels. An aggregate of 9000 dockers and seafarers are idle, and shipping is completely paralysed. Throe thousand dockers and 3000 Manchester, and 700 men handling timber at Hartlepool have struck. There is a great accumulation of fish, butter, and eggs at Hull, and flourmillers are short of grain.
