WORKERS’ ANSWER
STOP WORK AS PROTEST AGAINST AWARD CRISIS AMONG SHEARERS Reed. 10.5 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. Five hundred men employed in the Mores district have ceased work as a protest against the new pastoral award in which the wages of shearers have been reduced by 20 per cent. A meeting of 1,500 will be held in the various shearing sheds today. Officials of the Australian Workers' Union take a grave view of the situa tion. Mr. Justice Dethridge’s award is regarded as the forerunner to many other measures to bring down wages. In Canberra it was suggested the award will inspire an economic crisis to which the conditions of recent years have been leading Australia.
