FARAIERS’ STRONG ACTION SYDNEY, Nov. 10,
Tho industrial position at Bowen is much brighter. Many farmers are returning home. Wharf labourers on Friday decided not to handle cargo except under tho rotary system. On Saturday the farmers insisted that the wharf labourers should hold a meeting. Tho farmers surrounded the meeting and refused to allow a number of extremists to take part. After the meeting was addressed by farmers who stated that unless produce was loaded, the waterside is* must ho prepared to take the consequences. the wntersiders decided to load the cargoes, ponding the decision of the State Government’s Committee ot investigation of the Rotary System. The chief trouble now is lack of ships to take the sugar away.
