A PARALYSING STRIKE
DRIVER® AND CARTERS CEASE WORK. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received 13, 11 p.m. Adelaidej December 13. The drivers' strike is having a serious effect on business. Large quantities of goods are held up on the wharves. The strikers' pickets are everywhere. A deputation from the Employers' Federation waited on the Premier and asked that the Government enforce the penalty clauses of the Arbitration Act against the Laborers' Union, and also provide extra police to protect the men engaged to fill the strikers' places. The Premier promised that the Government would take measures to have order preserved in the streets, but expressed the opinion that any legal action to put the penalty clauses into force would have to be taken by the employers themselves.
