“UNDER PROTEST"

LOADING OF TYMERIC PIG-IRON FOR JAPAN SYDNEY, Feb. 16. rßepresentatives of the Sydney and South Coast waterside workers' unions have decided to recommend to the Port Kembla watersiders that they should load pig-iron for Japan “under protest.” It is believed that this advice will be accepted and that the watersid-ers will load the Tymeric when it arrives at Port Kembla. A cablegram received from Sydney on Wednesday stated that more trouble was brewing over the pig-iron dispute at Port Kembla, where the steamer Tymeric was due to load the remainder of 21,000 tons of iron for Japan which was left by the Dalfram. The local wharf labourers were hoping that the Federal Government would have placed a ban on the export of pig-iron in accordance with the promise made by the AttorneyGeneral, Mr. R. G. Menzies. However, the Prime Minister stated that no such course was practicable. This decision was based partly on information that the export of pig-iron will not prejudice Australian industries and partly on the ground that to impose an embargo because Japan is at war might be considered a provocative act.
