THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Back To ChaGo. Trades unions go officially inlo an Arbitration Court to accept an award —then their members disdain it. Which, strictly speaking, makes them non-unionists. : Watersiders who refuse to work under conditions of legal award have turned themselves into “ free labour,” which is the very tiling they curse; and they give an open invitation to anybody else to come and do the work. By hundreds and by thousands men in all kinds of occupation cease to inaive a living when the ships are tie' up; and, all the time, the fantastic 11 shandy-gaff strike ” is based on no principle. It is a disruption of unionism, not a declaration of it. —Sydney paper.
