LESS WORK.
' CRISIS IN AUSTRALIA. THREAT TO IMITATE ITALY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept 10, 10.55 p.m. Sydney, Sept. 10. The Federal authorities at the naval dockyards have issued a proclamation to the employees stating that if the men cease work on Saturday to hold stop-wort; meetings the works will close on Monday. A pamphlet circulating amongst the ironworkers states: "Wo do not desire this fight to be a 1917 fiasco. An example is given us by our comrades in Italy." The pamphlet continues: "Let us have no starvation strikes. Why should you aud your wives and children starve when there is plenty of everything in Australia and produced by you."—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. [The reference to what happened in Italy contains a grave threat, for it alludes to the action of the workers in taking complete control of the Italian factories, barricading themselves against attack, and virtually declaring war on the employers, with resultant stagnation of industry.]
