THE STRIKE.
1 20,000 WORKERS IDLE. NO SIGN OF COMPROMISE. By Teiemj*.- Tmi AMu.—copyrteiit. Melbourne, June 16. It u estimated that 20,000 are idle through the striKe, though there are only two thousand actual' strikers. The decision of the employers to act unitedly has resulted in a hardening tendency, minimising any gleam of compromise. The strikers' deputation to the Premier accused the latter of taking sides with the employers. Mr. Lawson denied the impeachment, insisting that he only endeavored to keep the public buildings going. Cabinet refused to intervene in the dispute, asserting that the principle of deciding industrial disputes was at stake, therefore the matter should be j determined by the Court.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
