TRADE LOSSES FEARED
AUSTRALIAN WOOL SHIPMENTS TALLY CLERKS!’ DISPUTE Rec. 8 p.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 2. Fears that American wool buyers would turn to South Africa for their requirements if the strike of tally clerks continued to hold up wool shipments from Sydney and Melbourne to America were expressed by woolbrokers. The dispute, which started in Sydney because the wool firms would not comply with union demands to dismiss non-union employees, spread to Melbourne, and has now immobilised shipping at Adelaide.
Wool sales in three States will be cancelled unless buyers are assured' of being able to ship their purchases. At Melbourne at least 10 ships are held up by the strike. The liner Ormonde has replaced 2000 bales of wool with other cargo. With four other ships in Sydney, she was to have loaded 50,000 bales.
