The employees will also derive various other advantages. The men are overjoyed at securing a 48hour week and because free labor has to ;go. THE AFTERMATH. Received 27, 8.50 p.m. Sydney, March 27.
Sixteen launch-owners, who made a golden' harvest by carrying passengers in the early stages of the strike, have donated £1 each to the hospital funds.
