EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE SHIPPING STRIKE,

Durban, August 28.

The shipping strike has assumed serious proportions. The crow of the Balmoral Castle have refused to work, and sailing has been postponed indefinitely,

The strike has occurred at a critical period, because the ports are congested with steamers waiting to remove an unprecedented maize crop.

Two strikers of the Sandgate Castle who were sentenced to four- teen days imprisonment have had their sentences suspended for a fortnight to enable them to reconsider their position and assist in getting the vessel away-Reuter.

Melbourne, August 28.

There are further indications of the Seamen's strike ending. The Trades Council of Melbourne announces that it was in nowiec in charge of the strike which is now in the hands of the British aesmen themselves. The liner Chitral has arrived and is being louded with Stevedores who lntend to work all the British manned vessels,

There, was an uproar in the House of Representatives when Mr. Bruce asked leave to introduce a bill to appoint special police in con- nection with the seamen's strike, Mr. Charlton, a labour leader, vigorously protested against "springing" such a bill in the House.

The Senate after a vigorous debate, has adopted by a vote of 20 to 9 the ministerial motion that the Senate meet to-morrow to con-- sider special legislation appointing special police owing to the New South Wales Government's refusal to assist, the Commonwealth to carry out the law in regard to possible deportations.-Reuter.

ANGLO-FRENCH DEBT CONVERSATIONS.

New York, August 28.

All the newspapers publish leaders on the Anglo-French debt conversations and refer to the alleged desire of M. Calllaux "to put the United States in a hole.”

1

The New York World says that M, Caillaux and Mr. Churchill are wholly mistaken if they think the debt problem can be advanced. by diplomatic" cleverness. Absolute frankness and simplicity will do more for France in the coming negotiations than far too clover wizardry.

The New York Times says that some detect a subtle plot to put America wrong in the eyes of Europeans as à more hard hearted creditor than England. This will not sway our government in its Aixed policy.

The New York Herald says that the political effect in the United States of the Anglo-French bargain will be exactly nothing-Reuter's American Service.

COMMUNIST INTERNATIONALE CONDEMNED.

Marseilles, August 28.

Sitting till one in the morning, the International Socialist Con- gress unanimously condemned the Communist. Internationale which is encouraging revolution in Asia and Africa, calling on the Socialist party. to combat any policy against Russia and demanding the establishment of diplomatic and economic relations with Soviet Russia. It urged the socialist states comprised in the Soviet Union to democratize their regimes and to restore political liberty. It concluded exhorting all sections of the socialists to strike for the self-determination of oppressed peoples in Asia and Africa and the abolition of every kind of terrorism.-Reuter,

Brighten Your Home

LIS

DOES YOUR CHILD

ENJOY PEACEFUL” SLEEP? Children frequently lie awake for many hours during the night without parents being aware of it.

Young children have a natural fear of darkness, which prevents them from sleeping and is also the cause of so-called night terror," and should be avoided. It is therefore advisable to have the children's room lighted, not of course -by a lamp which gives a brilliant light or which involves danger of fire, but by the Philips' Night Lamp which gives a soft orange light, removing all childish fears, and inducing tranquil sleep. The Philips Night Lamp is the Lamp for the Night Nursery.
