STRIKERS’ FIERY TALK
EFFORT TO BOLSTER UP FAILING MORALE THREAT TO LOYAL WORKERS Reed. 10 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. Much fiery talk marked a meeting of the striking timber workers at the Trades Hall. The speakers urged the men to stop at nothing and prevent the wagons from leaving the yards. Names of loyal workers were read out, and a speaker declared: “Now you know where they live.” A striker, however, addressing the meeting asked, “Why don’t you tell the truth and say we are beaten?” Financial troubles and a weakening of the morale of the men seem to have broken the back of the strike. The Sydney delegates have been summoned to Melbourne by the Central Strike Committee. There is a possibility of a resumption on a 48hour basis. An urgent and last desperate appeal has been made from the Australian Council of Trades Unions, in Melbourne to the Federated Unions, asking for funds.
