THE GOVERNMENT, THE SHIPPING FIRMS, AND THE STRIKE.
On the 2nd inst. a letter was addressed by the Colonial Secretary to the Chamber of Commerce, in connection with the strike, to the effect that the Governor was informed that offers of labour had been made on certain conditions and declined, and that the firms had also clauses in their agreements with their compradores by which they might have brought pressure to bear, but had neglected to do so, thereby failing to render to the Government the loyal support they might have done. The letter was published in our issue The following is the reply of of the 3rd inst. the Chamber of Commerce, enclosing letters from the various firms:-

The Committee are of opinion that a perusal of these letters will remove any doubt which may exist as to the general inaccuracy of the which lotter appears to
your information upon have been written, and serve to refute statements (1), (2), (3), and (4) of your favour under reply,
The Committee cannot conour in the opinion that the leading firms had it in their power to put an end to the strike by the adoption of the means enumerated in your letter, and they do not know upon what grounds these firms can be charged with any desire to cast the entire responsibility of ending the labour strike on the Government.
