THE STRIKE AT ARDROSSAN
There are still fully 100 men on strike at Ardrossan.
The employees of Messrs G. and J. Burns, Messrs William Christie and Company, the Newry and Dundalk Steam Packet Company Limited, Messrs William Baird and Company, and the Glengarnock and Iron and Steel Company Limited have all resumed work under old conditions.
The representatives of the Harbour Company state that they are determined to concede nothing further to the dockers, and they decline to have any dealings whatever with the strike leaders.
Arrangements have now been made by the union officials to pay the men on strike at the rate of 15s weekly, instead of 10s weekly as henceforth.
The harbour is still guarded by the police.
