INDUSTRIAL PEACE IN AUSTRALIA
MR CHIFLEY’S APPEAL TO LABOUR SYDNEY, June 17. “Industrial stoppages for trivial reasons, including inter-union disputes, are a travesty of democracy/’ said the Prime Minister (Mr Chifley) addressing delegates to the New South Wales Labour. Party Conference in an appeal for industrial harmony and increased production. He said that the Gdvernment planned to widen its social services programme, and that the community would have to pay for increased services. He could promise no great or drastic taxation relief, but the Government would review taxation having regard for its commitments in the coming year. There was no fixed date for the lifting of war-time controls. Australia had come out of the war remarkably well because of the Government’s pricefixing and wage-pegging regulations. “I want to make, it perfectly .clear that I realise that if a body of workers has a real grievance, and something is not done about it, they will take action, but I do not want to see industrial problems cropping up at this period,” concluded Mr Chifley.
