NO HOLIDAY TRAINS.
STRIKE IN WEST AUSTRALIA. HIGHER PAY REFUSED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 2, 5.5 p.m. Perth, Jan. 1. Negotiations have been proceeding for some time over the railway loco men’s demands for a seven-hour day, and an increase in wages of 25s a day for drivers, 20s for firemen, and for cleaners, with a large advance for night wotk and fifty per cent, increase over ordinary rates for the hours worked one day beyond eight hours. Cabinet refused the demand, and the railwaymen, backed by the Labor Federation, made good the ultimatum to cease work at midnight on Friday, since when the whole railway service has been idle, and the public greatly inconvenienced. In holiday-making, all sorts of vehicles were utilised. The Railway Commissioners state that no attempt is to be made to run the railways until someUiing like an efficient service is assured. A compulsory conference is called for Tuesday to discuss the situation. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
