THE WATERFRONT EMBARGO IN SYDNEY CHALLENGED BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOTICE THAT TRANSPORT ACT WILL BE INVOKED (Recd This Day, 11.50 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. The waterside workers who refused to load scrap iron and other material for Japan have been warned by the Federal Ministry that unless they agree by May 25 to load all cargoes offering, the licensing provisions of the Transport Workers’ Act will be applied to Sydney members of the Waterside Workers’ Federation, and disciplinary action will be taken in other ports. In a letter to the federation, the Federal Prime Minister (Mr J. A. Lyons), stated that the Government takes the view that no sufficient reason exists for the imposition of an embargo on the exports in question.
