SYDNEY MEAT STRIKE
SETTLED BY GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION SYDNEY, July 16. Terms for the settlement of the meat strike were reached at a conference today, and the union will recommend to a mass meeting of the men on Monday that the terms be accepted. The conference was the result of Government intervention. Cabinet discussed the trouble yesterday and decided to take no action over the weekend, which would be likely to “add fuel to the fire,” but in the event of the strike continuing it would have evolved a plan to keep the metropolis well supplied with meat.
Prices for stored meat soared yesterday and such substitutes as rabbits and fish were snapped up at abnormal prices.
