THE LEEDS STRIKE.
COMMUNITY TURN STRIKE-
BREAKERS.
'Times'— 'Sydney Sun 8 Special Cables, (Received Dec. 17, 8.20 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 16.
The community at Leeds were forced to turn strike-breakers to preserve its social existence. The strike leaders wordily trounce them, but cannot stamp out the first impulse of human nature. _ _ The fact that individual citizens, finding themselves and families threatened with the greatest discomfort, have taken off their coats and are attending to common tasks, already emphasises the futility of syndicalism. . . The supply of electricity and water is ample. The tramways are running during the day, and there are plenty of volunteers at the gasworks, but there is still an insufficient supply for" domestic and manufacturing needs?. Clothing factories are greatly embarrassed. ' Hundreds of strikers returned to work t'his morning, but there will probably be a stampede to-morrow. (Received Dec. 17, 9 a.m.) LONDON. Dec. 16. The Leeds strike is collapsing. Hundreds of tramway men Have returned to> work. _ The gasworks have also resumed.
