THE STRIKE.

MEN WANT TO FORCING A SETTLEMENT. HEAVY LOSSES TO TRADE. ’ Z . By Telegraph —-Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Feb. 15, 10.55 p.m . Sydney, Feb. Rx The seamen met at the Trades Hall and discuseed the strike situation, the tone of the meeting being to force the Government to bring about a settlement. At the conclusion of the meeting it was officially announced that the men are anxious to resume. As a result of the hold-up phenomenal losses have been incurred in all branches of the wholesale trade, as since the stewards struck there has been practically no exporting, while inter-State trade has suffered badly. The export of fruit to New Zealand has also been largely interfered with. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. UNEMPLOYED GIVE TROUBLE. THE GOVERNOR SURROUNDED. Received Feb. 15. 11.40 p.m. Sydney, Feb. 15. A procession of six hundred unemployed marched to the Chief Secretary’s office, where, after a disorderly scene, in which a panel of a door was splintered, the police caused the withdrawal of the crowd into a park opposite. Soon afterwards, violent stone-throw-ing was indulged in, in which one policeman was injured. During the height of the disturbance the Governor, who was en route to a meeting of the Executive Council, attempted to enter the building. He was recognised and surrounded by a howling mpb asking for work. After he had addressed them, promising to use his influence on their behalf, the crowd dispersed.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
