DISTRESS IN CITIES
SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE HIT BY STRIKE RELIEF RATIONS ISSUED SYDNEY, Monday. The prolongation of the timber workers' strike is causing great distress in Sydney and Melbourne. The municipal authorities in both cities are providing relief rations. Bailiffs have sold up some of the strikers’ furniture. The police are now escorting all wagon loads of timber transpoi-ted by volunteer workers. All building operations have been suspended and the men formerly employed in them have been thrown out of wox-k. The newspapers demand that stern measures shall he taken to suppress brutal attacks on volunteer workers. The Sydney “Morning Herald” suggests the lash for such offenders. The coalmining deadlock is also accentuating the unemployment evil. There is no sign of a settlement.
