LABOR PROMISES TROUBLE.
By Telegrann.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received August 19, 10.5 p.m. Sydney, August 19.
The Western District miners’ lodges adopted a resolution against the payment of income tax unless the exemption is raised to £3OO. In the event of the central council endorsing the resolution it is intended to approach all the industrial organisations in Australia to adopt a similar attitude. It is further proposed that should any unionist be arrested or garpisheed for non-pavment of the tax a genera! strike will be declared until the man is released or the garnisheed money, refunded. Port Darwin reports that six prominent Labor Unionists were sentenced to a tnonth’s imprisonment for refusing to pay jncome tax.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
