UPHEAVAL IN GERMANY.
STRIKE DISLOCATES TRAFFIC. PUBLIC SERVICES SUSPENDED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrlgtt. Received Feb. G, 5.5 p.m. , London, Feb. 5. The Daily Chronicle’s Berlin correspondent states that to a paralysing railway strike has been added another crippling strike during the night. The municipal workers carried out their threat in the city to-day. With the streets deep in snow*, and without trams, water, gas and electricity, the latest strike caught the people unprepared, because a settlement was believed to be imminent. Saturday night’s crowds leaving the theatres trooped into snow and were amazed to find the city without trams. The municipal strikers resolved not ito perform emergency work, except to» ( keep the underground railways’ pumping stations going.
The railway strike is unabated. A few trains are running manned by strike-breaking corps. The Government thus far refuses to negotiate with the strikers, and business is at a standstill. Supplies of household coal are exhausted, and large works are closing down. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
