NO WORK TILL 1928
PUT OFF AUSTRALIAN METAL TRADES By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright Reed. 9.5 a.m. SYDNEY, Friday. Twenty thousand employees in the metal trades have been given a week's notice by their employers that there will be no work after next Friday until the new year.
The notice was issued to-day as, under the weekly hiring system, if it were not so issued, the employers would be liable for a full week’s wages whether work was done or not. The secretary of the Metal Trades Employers’ Association says a large number of the men will not be reengaged as the metal trade has never been in a wors- state of slackness than at present.—A. and N.Z.
