SYDNEY, July 25
Messrs Collins and Ryland, Queensland Labour members, are proceeding to Melbourne in the interests of the sugar strikers.
They state that five thousand meti are at present in the strike camps, and probably there will be seven thousand by the end of the week. This does not represent the total number of men idle, as at Bundaberg alone four hundred men, who are better off than their fellows, are stopping at hotels. The reasons leading to the (strike were that the men in the fields had to work eighty hours a week, and in the mills seventy, the wages being 22s 6d per week and food.
Tii3 Brisbane-Adelaide Steamship Company is instructing its Mack-ay, Townsvdlle and Cairns representatives to engage free labour to load sugar, guaranteeing three months' empicy-v ment at union rates and conditions.
