AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING STRIKE.
- FEDERAL FIGHT SUGGESTED. FACTORIES CEASING OPERATIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Melbourne, July 11. The -Trades'- Hall Council* carried a motion that the council is' of opinion, after the attitude of the employers at the conference, that a Hectionnl strike will be disastrous to the seamen, and that the only possible way of winning is making a Federal fight. Coal miners, engine-drivers, firemen, transport workers and seamen will be asked to make common cause and emissaries will be sent to other States with the yiew of summoning a conference' to decide on a policy. Mr. Watt has granted leave to the Arbitration Court to prosecute the Seamen's Union and the secretary in 'connection with the .strike. To-morrow all factories not providing their oyn power will cease operations as the result of the restrictions. ' The Trades' Hall Council passed.,® resolution that the time has arrived when organised labor in Victoria should repudiate the system of settling disputes by arbitration and institute a more scientific method of gaining its ends. Unions are requested to ballot on the question. In the House of-Representatives a noconfidence motion was defeated by 32 votes to 15.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable .Assn. . OMINOUS STATEMENTS,
A WAVE OF UNREST, Received July Jl, 9.55 p.m. Sydney, Last Night. The Labor Council has' agreed to support the seamen financially, and is arranging a mass demonstration of all workers.
The secretary of the .Labor Council expresses the opinion that this means a wide uphea*l. The proposal to arrest the leaders <tf the seamerjjs strike would only embitter the men. The evidence pointed to a wave of unrest going to surge throughout the Commonwealth. He warned the Government that the fight would not b.i a peaceful one. He feared what had Vappensjl in other countries would happen here. On the other hand a big section of the unionists would oppose a' general strike. The majority of the unions'are short of funds, and an upheaval would be disaatnws.—Ans.-N.Z Cable Assn
