INDUSTRIAL UNREST.
A GENERAL STRIKE? POSSIBILITY OF WIDESPREAD TROUBLE. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. London, December 25.

THE MINIMUM WAGE. London. December 23. The Times declares that the demand for the minimum wage is one of the untoward results of the eight-hours system, and adds that the men are now earning less than formerly. RESUMPTION IN DUNDEE. Received 26, 11 p.m. London, December 26. Most of the works in Dundee have resumed and the contractors are rushing the fuel supplies.
