WALSH FINDS JOB NO SINECURE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) SYDNEY, Wednesday. Mr. Tom Walsh to-day entered upon his duties as general secretary of the Seamen’s Union of Australia. No attempt was made to obstruct him, but his reception by the minor officials at the office of the union was frigid. Later in the afternoon Mr. Walsh was compelled to seek a police guard comprising two detectives and one constable. An angry seaman called out across the road to Mr. Walsh: “I will get you yet.” On entering the office Mr. Walsh found that the books of the union had been removed to the branch office. Ho informed Mr. Fleming, the branch secretary, that he intended to have them brought back to his headquarters. Mr. Fleming denied having removed I them.
