STRIKE THREAT.
BY TRANSPORT WORKERS. RAILWAYS AND DOCKS INVOLVED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 8, 125 a.m. London, March 3., A lightning strike at "two days', notice is threatened by 175,000 transport workers to enforce their demand for an extra 10s weekly. A joint committee of the road transport industry considered the demand and was unable to asrrec to it. so the National Transport Workers' Federation determined on an immediate strike, if the federated societies are willing. The action involves the holding up of the docks and railways. The last advance of 4s was given in August to bring the wage to 34s above the pre-war figure. Carters, motormen, and garage and stable workers are affected. The masters claim that the Minister of Labor .should make the wages awards obligatory on all employers in the industry.— Aus.-N.J!.
