INDUSTRY & WAR
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE IN AUSTRALIA FEDERAL PRIME MINISTER TO PRESIDE. ANTICIPATED STABILISATION DEMAND, (Special Australian Correspondent.) z SYDNEY, June 17. More than 200 trade union delegates from all the States, together with Government representatives, will attend the most important industrial conference ever held in Australia, which is to open in Melbourne on Friday. The Prime Minister, Mr Curtin, will preside. It is believed Mr Curtin will demand that trade unions abandon all plans for improvement in wages or conditions while the war lasts. He is expected to tell the unions frankly that the Government has finished its blueprint for the war and it remains only for the plan to be put into effect. The onus to see that the plan is implemented will rest mainly ■ on the unions. Large industries in both Sydney and Melbourne have been earmarked for closing. The Prime Minister has stated that the operational side of the war has ceased to be a matter for Government initiative. This is in the hands of the Commander-in-Chief and his subordinate commanders, who also control the strategy in this theatre of war in relation to the strategy in other places.
