TROUBLE BREWING.
IN . x DNEY BOOT TRADE. Received This Morning, 12.45 o'clock. SYDNEY, April 10. Trouble is brewing in the boot trade. Johnstone, secretary of the Boot Trade Council, has resigned as a protest against the recent Wages Board Award, which allowed the employment of women on skirving machines. The Union claims that the work can be done by aprentices, and there was therefore- no need to employ female labour. It threatens to call out the employees of firms who persist in carrying the award into effect.
