A COSTLY STRIKE
SYDNEY MEAT TRADE WILL LOSE £IO,OOO A WEEK BUTCHERS’ IDLENESS SERIOUS SYDNEY, Monday. The slaughtermen’s strike against the reintroductiou of the 48-hour week has assumed serious proportions, but butchers have given an assurance that there is sufficient meat in cold storage for the city’s needs for a fortnight. If necessary the master butchers will do their own slaughtering. Employers’ organisations in the meat industry have decided to ask the Arbitration Court to deregister ’ the Slaughtermen’s Union. The Government has offered ample police protection for those who wish to continue working. The export section of the meat trade estimates that the strike will cause it a loss of £IO,OOO a week. The ordinary stock sales from which the city’s meat supply is drawn were today postponed indefinitely.
