GREAT LABOR CRISIS.
THE STRIKE IN LONDON.
London, Sept. 11. The situation with regard to the strike is unchanged. Owing to the'liberality of the contributions from Australia money is plentiful. Burns is ill from the effects of overwork. Sept. 12. The strikers have £12,000 in the bank. It was the strike committee who empowered Cardinal Manning to negotiate with the employers. They appear to be convinced that it is desirable to accept the compromise if the companies will begin the increased pay in ' November instead of January. The Standard says that the Australian artisans will find that' while nominally helping' the dock laborers, they have really been playing into the hands of Socialist agitators.
The’ Seamen’s Union has sent a manifesto to Australia, asking the Unions there not to allow the Taiaui to be unloaded, on the ground that she is manned by “ blacklegs.”
The Federated Stewards’ and Cooks’ Union, Dunedin, hava forwarded £2OO to the funds of the dock laborers on strike in London.
