LABOUR TROUBLES.
THE IMPLEMENT WORKERS
SHEARING INDUSTRY. (Received May l' f , 9.40 a.m.) MELBOURNE, May 16. Work in the agricultural implement trade generally was resumed to-day. It is estimated "that the men lost £53,000 in wages during the strike. (Received May 16, 9 a.m.) LONDON, May 15. Six hundred shipwrights at Southampton have struck for a halfpenny hour increase in wages. (Received May 16, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 16. An application that came before the Arbitration Court for an award to apply to the shearing industry disclosed the fact that the pastoralists consider that the previous award fixed too high wages, and they seek a reduction. They also resist the proposed inclusion of station hands in the award. By consent, the case was adjourned pending a conference between the pastoralists and shearers.
