A NATIONAL STRIKE.
POLICE UNION'S DEMANDS. London, Jan. 2* A prolonged meeting of London engineers was held with a view of planning a national strike if the employers refuse the men's terms.
The Amalgamated Society's secretary declares that the arrangement for a forty-seven hours' week is temporary, with a view of enabling a settlement to be made on a national basis. If the men decide to take strong action it will probably culminate in a demand for a forty-four or forty hours' week. The dispute in the northern shipyards regarding forty-seven hours will hold up the Repair of many ships. Police union officials state that if the authorities do not attempt to meet the men's demands a srike ballot will foe taken all over the country.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assoc. /
