GENERAL ITEMS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Melbourne, April 15. There is evidently no shortage of labor, as 451 vacancies in the Defence Department factories attracted 3880 applicants. As a train was drawing in to Brighton station, passengers opened the doors and four ladies on the crowded platform were struck and seriously injured. Brisbane, April 15. The search for the Yongala has been abandoned. Sydney, April 15. Eighty-three thousand people attended the show yesterday, which is easily a record. At the ceremony of turning the first sod for the waterworks at Broken Hill, Mr. Griffith, Minister of Works, appealed to the men to show carping critics what was possible with the day-labor system. He assured the people that there would be no "Government stroke." He would not interfere with the engineer regarding dismissals.
