The London Strike.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-There Is nothing In the
strike situation to inspire hope of an lmme-
dlate settlement of the question at Issue be
tween the dockmen and the dock com.
panies. A depntstion of ship owners, head
ed by Sir Donald Currie. waited upon the
officials of the companies again to-day and
urged the acceptance of yesterdays pro-
posal to allow ship owners to employ their
own men to load and unload vessels.
Mr.. Norwood, for the dock companies, re
piled that they could not sccede to this
proposition, but would be willing to enter
into further discussion of all the questions
involved with committee of ship owners.
Sir Donald said he regretted that definite
answer could not be given to the ship OWL
era, but expressed a willingness to Consent
to joint conference. He requested that
he dock officials express their views in
writing for submission to the ship owners at
meeting later in the day, to which Mr..
Norwood assented. The result OF this con-
ference destroys The chance of arriving at
settlement of the strike to day and embit-
ters the feeling of the men.
The chairman Of the trades union con-
gress at Dundee, in an address, dwelt upon
the seething discomfort prevalent among
the working Glasses owing to the uncertain.
ty of their employment and the unequal
distribution of the fruits of their labor. He
advocates the adoption of a legislative en-
actmsnt making eight hours days work
as step in the right direction. Trades
unions, he said, should now demand large
share in the work of moulding the national
life. Labor had too long lain under the
