TERMS REJECTED
MILL AND RAILWAY MEN RAILED GOODS “BLACK.” BRISBANE, Wednesday. At a mass meeting of the South Johnstone sugar mill and railway strikers the men unanimously rejected the terms of settlement proposed by the Arbitration Court and drew up new terms. These will be submitted to a meeting of the representatives of the combined unions, and if they are rejected the matter will be referred back to the Disputes Committee. Three thousand members of the Transport Workers' Union met at Brisbane to-day. They unanimously decided not to handle any goods from the railways while the strike continues. So far petrol has not been declared “black/' For the first time large firms are feeling the loss of business and numbers have decided to give their employees their annual holidays while business is slack. If the situation continues as at present it will result in many dismissals. The State Parliament was to-day adjourned until September 15. —A. and N.Z.
