LABOUR, ETC.
London, Nov. 26. A deputation representing 85,000 skilled workmen waited on Lord Salisbury to protest against some of the clauses in the Employers' Liability Bill respecting contracts. The Marquis of Salisbury replied that the House of Lords would protect the men. Washington, Nov. 27. Frequent collisions have taken place between the railway strikers and freemen in Lehig, Pennsylvania. The militia were summoned to preserve order. Sydney, Nov. 28. The Lambton mine is idle, owing to the refusal of wheelers to work, consequent on several members of their union being fined for breach of rules. In the face of the keen distress which is prevalent, the men affected show considerable irritation at the action of the wheelers. Owing to the proposed reduction in the selling price of N ewcastle coal, two leading southern collieries have notified a reduction in hewing rates at the end of the year. The meeting of owners and men to-morrow is generally regarded as the prelude to a universal reduction.
