The Shearing Dispute.
Sydney, March 5. In connection with the friction between the pastoralists aud shearers, Spencc, Secretary of the latter Union, states emphatically, that there is not the slightest hope of the pastoralists meeting the shearers' representatives in conference. His Union is quite prepared to renew the light during the coming season. A good deal of time during the late conference, was devoted to perfecting arrangements to meet the coming difficulty. MrKae is hopeful of the result of the coming struggle, and states that the Shearers' Union ig stronger than ever. He states that the pastoralists, individually, are being misled as to the resources of the Pastoralists' Union, and that the experience of the past is distinctly against anything like unanimity in the future. The squatters who are in a position to independent action, simply si'- their own interests and shear with unionists.
Last season the cost of food supplied to shearers on strike iras fifteen thousand pounds.
