CARGO WORKING
UNDERTAKEN BY SOLDIERS IN SYDNEY. AUSTRALIANS AND AMERICANS:. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, March 31. On the Sydney waterfront today, 900 Australian soldiers began to handle the cargoes of ships held up because wharf labourers refuse to work under the gang system. United States Army men are being used to unload American ships. Many of the soldiers so employed are from the Dock Operating Corps and have had special training in stevedoring work. Four thousand watersiders who again declined to work under the gang system watched without comment as the soldiers went to the wharves.
