Arbitration Judge To Burn in Effigy
WORKERS’ CHALLENGE
DEFIANCE OF GOVERNMENT
(United P.A.—By Telegraph Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.30 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day.
An extraordinary scene, one unprecedented in Australian trade union history, has been arranged by the union officials who are directing the timber-workers’ strike, as an open challenge, not only to the Arbitration Court, but also to the Federal Government.
The strikers have decided to stage their ballot-burning demonstration on Wednesday night. A large effigy of Judge Lukin, of the Arbitration Court, has been built, and this will be derisively committed to the flames. The ashes will be addressed to the judge and forwarded to Melbourne. The moderate unionists are alarmed. AGAINST COAL-OWNER A message from Canberra says the Federal Government has decided to take pr ings against a well-known coal-owner, Mr. John Brown, of Newcastle, for causing an alleged ■ lockout on the northern coalfields.
The action will be taken under the Industrial Peace Act, which forbids any person or organisation bound by an award from doing anything in the nature of a lock-out or strike. The penalties range from £SO to £I,OOO. The case will be heard after Easter.
