LIBOR COUNCIL REPORT.
RESULT OF LATE STRIKE. Received, this day at 8.45 a.m. SYDNEY January 26. The half yearly report of the Labour Council state's it had taken twenty-seven years to bring unionism to the state of perfection enjoyed prior to the strike, and it was all demolished in twenty seven days, by the direct action of the Council which allowed the unionists to give up the strike or alter the system of organisation. Referring to the present condition of
unionists the report says that never in the history of Australia have employers shown such vindicativeness towards workers. The employers are taking full advantage of- the surplus of labour and the hungry unemployed. The Council suggests that all' unions be grouped on lines ol’ trade affinity,
that such groups be formed into industrial federation, and linked into a federal Iwdy by the formation of an Australian Labour Council. /
