HINT OF UPHEAVAL.
TROUBLE IN AUSTRALIA. BIG STRIKE PLANNED. CONTROL OF INDUSTRY. By Telegraph.— Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, March 22. Information, has been received by representative people in the affected industries that, in a desperate endeavor to -wrest the control of industry from the hands of employers, plans have been made by the Seamen’s and Miners’ unions for a strike, which in extent and intensity will rival the 1917 upheaval. The pretext for the strike will be resistance to any attempt to reduce wages. Plans are stated to be fully prepared and reciprocal agreements made with certain unions in New Zealand.
The council of the Miners’ Union discussed the position and decided that, no matter what happened, nothing would alter its determination not to agree to a reduction of wages.
