“MINES FOR THE MINERS.
AUSTRALIAN WORKERS’ NEW SLOGAN. SPREAD OF TROUBLE FEARED. By Telegraph.—Pre?s Association. Received Feb. 14, 10.55 p.m Melbourne, Feb. 14. At the All-Australian Union conference on the 17th inst it is anticipated that certain union officials will propose that Victoria be made the cockpit of the shipping dispute, and. that the miners and trimmers be asked to take action to prevent coal reaching Victoria. This may involve the Railway Union. Mr. Holloway (secretary of the Trades Hall Council), says that in view of the attitude of the employers, the feeling is growing that the new slogan should be: “The mines to the miners and the ships to the seamen.” A mass meeting of stevedores, by an overwhelming majority, decided to ratify the terms provisionally agreed upon by the Steamship Owners’ Federation and ’he executive of the Watersiders’ Federation, which provides for the payment of 2s 9d an hour ordinary time, 3s 9d overtime till midnight, and 4s 6d after midnight.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
