STRIKE IN CHINA.
SHIPPING DISLOCATED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received March 1, 7.30 p.m. Brisbane, March I.' The steamer Taiyuan brings details of a shipping strike in China. It started on January 3 and was in full swing when the Taiyuan left Hong Kong on February 24. Over 160 vessels were idle, and coastal shipping was completely paralysed, though there were signs that the strikers could not hold out long. The chief cause of the trouble is a demand for increased wages, up to thirty per cent, in some cases.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
