Australia. recent semi-official re-
port deals with the condition OF the
trade unions of Australia. One of the
strongest is coal miners, now in it's 18th
year. This organization spent last
year only $4,000 in strikes, as against
1857 900 for sick and accident insur-
ance, $4,000 for death payments and
ST., 900 for other assistance. Their wag-
es are very high and their strength such
that they went safely through the 1890
struggle, which broke up most other
unions. The united Trades Councils,
representing all organizations in each
CITY or districts, have even greater
power than in England and confer
directly with employers. So great is
the solidarity that sailors would. if or
dered, respond to call to strike in sup
port of tailoresses. The 1890 collapse
is ascribed to the fact that the unions
over-estimated their strength and un-
der-estimated the Importance of public
opinion. The powerful labor organiza-
tions necessitate good organizations
of employers, and as result strikes are
infrequent and small ones never occur
