AUSTRALIAN LABOUR.
CRUSADE AGAINST NON-UNION-ISTS. By Telegraph..—Press Association.— Copyright Received thia day, 9.40 a.m. Sydney, This Day. Members of the Amalgamated Miners' Association and other unions on the Barrier, are carrying on a strong crusade against non-unionists. A whole shift employed in the amalgamated zinc works struck because four men declined to join the union. Subsequently the whole of the employees of the Silvorton Tramway Company were called out; and traffic was completely stopped.
The employees of several firms knocked off because of the refusal of a clerk to join the joint union. The trouble threatens to spread. All unions are strongly supporting the movement, and business is seriously affected.
A maBB meeting of the Miners' Association decided to ask the Government to nationalise the Silverton trams.
