GRASPING WORKMEN.
CUT OFF THEIR NOSES TO SPITE THEIR FACES. INDEPENDENT SHIPBUILDERS. (Received Oct. 2, 9.35 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 1. In connection with Austria's order, representing a quarter of a million sterling, Yarrow's yards are unable to comply with the workmen's demands for time and a half for night work instead of tine time and a quarter customary elsewhere in Britain. For this reason the firm will build one destroyer and one tor-pedo-boat, and have made arrangements for the execution of the rest of the order at the Stabilmento Tcchnico, Trieste, where labour is much cheaper.
