Osaka, May 27.
There have recently been many Inbour troubles here. For instance, a strike of over 300 gas-workers has seriously interfered with the supply of fuel to households and works, Over 100 conductors and motormen of the Suburban Tramway have struck, while the opera-lives of a large spinning mill have also ceased work. Other strikes included over a thousand workers at the Osaka Ironworks and 1,500 workers at the Miike Coal Mine.
These strikes are regarded as a counter-offensive by labour against possible reduction of wages and other unfavourable—measures.—-
